✦ Synopsis

We recently published an article in the Journal entitled "Factors Which Influence the Rate of Receiving a Routine Second Newborn Screening Test in Washington State" [Doyle et al., 19951. The purpose of this letter is to inform readers of the successful results of our efforts to increase the rate of obtaining a routine second newborn screening (NBS) specimen in Washington since early 1991, i.e., the time the data were collected for the article.

Over the last 4 years, advocacy for obtaining a routine second newborn screening test in Washington has been accomplished through a variety of formats. The vehicles for disseminating information have included written articles as well as oral presentations targeting health care professionals involved in newborn screening.
