Calcium consumption during childhood is essential for building strong, healthy bones. Help ensure that children and parents are getting the recommended amount of calcium by using this new Calcium Assessment Questionnaire, developed jointly with the American Academy of Pediatrics.

The questionnaire should be administered at least three times during well child visits:

1) After the infant is no longer taking human milk or formula, usually 2-3 years of age
2) During preadolescence, 8-9 years of age
3) During adolescence, when peak calcium accumulation occurs
