Excerpt from How to Conduct a Children's Health Conference
The conference may be a potent means of stimulating public interest in infant and child hygiene. The organization of infant-welfare or milk stations, establishment of a public-health nursing service either in the town or the country, etc., often follow the holding of such conferences.
Age limit of a conference. The conference may be limited to children under school age that is, any baby or child under the age of 6 years free from communicable disease may be considered eligible for the conference.
In some cases, especially in communities where it is desired to demonstrate the value of medical inspection of school children, children of all ages up to 14 years may be admitted for examination.
Safeguarding a conference. - The most important consideration in arranging a conference is to provide conditions which are safe and comfortable for the children.
The bringing together of a large number of children always involves a risk of spreading infection, which is especially great at the time of any general epidemic, such as one of measles, whooping cough, infantile paralysis, grippe, or any other contagious disease. Where such an epidemic is present, or where there is any special reason to fear one, it is better to omit the conference altogether. At any rate, in such cases the local or State public-health authorities should be consulted before a conference is arranged.
At all times, even in the absence of any epidemic, great care should be taken to prevent the spreading of infectious diseases at a conference. This can be done if certain precautions are observed. Every effort should be made to prevent the crowding together of a large number of children. This can be accomplished if the children are examined by appointment only, the appointments being made in advance. Not more than two or three children, with their mothers, should be admitted to the waiting room at the same time. It has been the experience in the past that when appointments are not made, and the conference is a popular one, the conference rooms are sometimes crowded with mothers and babies awaiting their turn; many of them, after remaining several hours, go home without the examination. It is obvious that such conditions are very undesirable.
Moreover, children suffering from contagious diseases or those who have recently been exposed to them should not be eligible for the conference. This fact should be made known in all the publicity material. In addition, a nurse should be given the duty, at the conference, of looking over every child as it is brought in and of excluding all those with any evidence of contagious disease, including bad colds.
