Child health clinic attendance during the first two years of life.
Attendance at child health clinics in three contrasting urban areas is described. Sociodemographic analysis of clinic attenders in the inner city area showed that families in poor socio-economic circumstance attended child health clinics more frequently than their more fortunate contemporaries during the first six months of life. Health visitor home visiting was a major determinant in clinic attendance rates.
