In a three-part study, Wald et al. 1-3 reported on a group of children enrolled in a health maintenance organization, cared for in three different setting, and followed up serially for 3 years. This collective work provides a clear picture for addressing this issue with parents who are concerned for the frequency of respiratory tract infections in their children.
