Welcome to the online training course, Overview of the CDC Growth Charts for Children and Teens Aged to 20 Years in the United States.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend that health care practitioners in primary care settings in the United States use the 2000 CDC growth reference charts to monitor growth of children and teens aged 2 to 20 years.

This course was developed by CDC to train health care practitioners and others on how to use CDC’s growth charts to assess growth among children and teens aged 2 to 20 years.
