title: The child health record and its uses for epidemiological purposes.
abstract: The lack of correlation between the disabling conditions found in the school-age children and the congenital anomalies identified at birth has been discussed. It has been suggested that more emphasis be given to identifying disabling conditions in older children which require research into prevention. A child Health Record/Carnet de Santé de l'Enfant kept by the parents is suggested as a way of identifying and studying disabling conditions in children.
