• Resumen

  • The evaluation of pediatric growth is a complex process that is impacted by gender, racial, and socioeconomic disparities. Interventions are needed to promote equity at every step of the evaluation by (1) recognizing there are explicit and implicit biases that impact parents and providers, (2) understanding that social determinants of health impacts who presents for evaluation, and (3) striving to reduce the differential access to health care.
