title: Child health clinic attendance during the first two years of life.
abstract: 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.
