Garrett County is often the lowest county in the state for yearly adolescent well child checks. It is important for the children and adolescents of our community to be seen yearly for this preventive visit where we can ensure that these children are healthy and developing normally. Age-appropriate education and screening are also completed at a well-child visit as well as updating immunizations if needed. And, a yearly well child check can help to catch problems early, when they may be easier to treat. Let’s share ideas and collaborate on ways to increase awareness and get our adolescents in to see their doctor for a yearly preventive exam.

Jennifer Corder uploaded the file: Parent permission form for middle school surveys to Child and Adolescent Wellness Workgroup 4 years, 9 months ago
This is the suggested parent permission form for the middle school youth. In the form, a side-by-side comparison of the parent and adolescent versions of the survey are mapped out. If we use something like this, the parents will be completely informed of the minor differences between the two versions. Please give feedback.
