Personal child health records were introduced in Fife in March 1992; an evaluation carried out in November 1992-February 1993 sought the views of both parents and health professionals and examined a sample of the records. All 104 parents who were interviewed considered it important that they hold a copy of their child's health record. The majority made good use of the personal child health record by bringing it regularly to clinics and by reading or completing the appropriate sections. The views of health professionals were mixed and some specific problems were raised. However, there is still relatively limited experience with the record in Fife; it is possible that professional endorsement of it will grow with increasing experience in its use. Suggestions for improvements should be acted upon where possible to encourage regular and correct use. The loose leaf format of the record facilitates the incorporation of amendments. The use of the record in Fife should be promoted by emphasising that, despite individual views of health professionals about the record, the great majority of parents value it and the improved access to the information about their child's health which it represents.
个人儿童健康记录于1992年3月在法夫郡推行；1992年11月至1993年2月进行的一项评估征求了家长和健康专业人士的意见，并检查了部分记录样本。接受访谈的104位家长均认为持有孩子健康记录的副本很重要。大多数家长通过定期携带记录到诊所，并阅读或填写相应部分，充分利用了个人儿童健康记录。健康专业人士的看法不一，并提出了一些具体问题。然而，法夫郡对该记录的经验仍然相对有限；随着使用经验的增加，专业人士对它的认可可能会增加。应尽可能采纳改进建议，以鼓励正确且定期地使用。记录的活页格式便于纳入修订内容。法夫郡应通过强调，尽管健康专业人士对该记录有个人看法，但绝大多数家长重视它，以及它能让家长更好地获取孩子的健康信息，来推广该记录的使用。
