由于缺乏关于预计在这些儿童中观察到的健康缺陷的数量和类型的公开资料，因此难以规划为改善低收入家庭儿童健康而提供的新服务。学校考试的结果被稀释到一个不确定的程度，因为他们结合了贫困儿童和富裕家庭儿童的数据(1)。关于兵役考试中被拒绝的原因的报告，虽然可能代表了低收入群体的健康问题，但没有包括女孩的信息(2)。学前教育项目已经为学龄前的男孩和女孩提供了大量的数据(3)，但这些信息可能不适用于年龄较大的儿童。如果在规划过程中能够界定和考虑到一些似乎影响健康状况的可变因素，就可以促进规划。通过应用对决定服务和治疗需要的因素的改进知识，规划也可以变得更加具体。这种分析的目的是为更精确的计划提供可能的帮助。
PLANNING for new services to improve the health of children in low income families has been made difficult by the scarcity of published information regarding the number and type of the health defects which can be expected to be observed in these children. The results of examinations in schools are diluted to an undetermined degree, because they combine data on poor children and those from more affluent families (1). The reports of the causes of rejection in Selective Service examinations, although probably representative of health problems in the lower income groups, do not include information on girls (2). The Head Start program has produced considerable data for both boys and girls of preschool age (3), but this information may not be applicable to older children. If some of the variables which seem to affect health status could be defined and considered in the planning process, planning could be facilitated. Planning could also become more specific by applying the improved knowledge of the factors that act to determine the need for services and treatment. This analysis is intended as a possible aid to more exact planning.
