Half of 1,135 children medically examined as a part of Project Head Start in California had one or more conditions that warranted referral to a physician or dentist, and only one-fifth of these were under care. In the judgment of the examining physicians, one-third of the referable medical conditions were described as "major." Follow-up procedures were variable and not very successful. Increased local medical society participation in planning the health services for these children is recommended as an especially important step in securing care for the problems that are identified.
在加利福尼亚州“启智计划”的一部分医学检查中,1135名儿童中有一半存在一种或多种需要转诊给医生或牙医的情况,而其中只有五分之一的儿童正在接受治疗。根据检查医生的判断,三分之一的可转诊医疗状况被描述为“严重”。后续程序各不相同且不太成功。建议当地医学协会更多地参与为这些儿童规划医疗服务,这是确保解决已发现问题的特别重要的一步。
