Abstract

In the course of a routine screening program for indigent school-age children carried out in an ambulatory hospital clinic, 40% of the mothers spontaneously recorded a concern about a child's health. Physicians were much more likely to record their awareness of the complaint if it related to a body system or function, as compared with complaints made about behavior and mental problems.
