Paediatricians and other health professionals are often faced with many health questions from parents, and providing the answers during the office visit can be challenging. That’s why the Canadian Paediatric Society, McMaster Children’s Hospital and the Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry have collaborated on Prescription for Information, a program to provide reading recommendations for parents who want more information on child and youth health topics.

These handy tear-off pads list books reviewed and recommended by practicing paediatricians and child/adolescent psychiatrists. They are designed for busy practitioners who want to provide parents with sources of reliable information.  

Available:

• Anxiety in children and youth
  
  
• Mood problems in children and youth

Support for development of the list was provided by CIBC World Markets Children’s Foundation.
