Summary:In reference to Hoekelman's study on "What Constitutes Adequate Well-Baby Care," I have concerns about how the study will be interpreted and would like to raise some issues I don't think were adequately covered in the article. My major concern is that people who read this may jump to the conclusion that three well-child visits during the first year are all that are necessary to provide "adequate well-baby care." My own feeling is that Hoekelman's measures do not, in fact, identify important aspects of "adequate well-baby care."
