Abstract

This research study addressed the effect of the activities of Child Care Health Consultants (CCHCs) in North Carolina over two years of intervention. The hypothesis was that child care health consultation is associated with changes in child care program policies and caregiver practices and that these changes would result in an improvement in children’s health by increasing the children’s access to preventive health care.
