As part of the development of models for community services for children, the utilization of the medical services for children in a local area in Copenhagen viz the catchment region of the Osterbro Social Centre was reviewed. By means of contact investigations in the above mentioned region with the general practitioners and duty roster doctors in two selected weeks and by information from the Casualty Department Register in the University Hospital and from the National Danish Patient Register, the pattern of illness for children aged 0-14 years and utilization of medical services in the year 1986 was described. Utilization of casualty departments was uniform throughout childhood. In the course of one year, every third child, on an average, had had contact with a casualty department. This is in contrast with other sections of medical services where utilization decreases with increasing age of the child. The frequency of admission to hospital was high, particularly for the youngest children. The majority of all contacts were on account of infectious diseases. A community, multidisciplinary effort to reduce ill health is suggested to combat the many illnesses due to infection, the numerous contacts with doctors and hospital admission. Choice of doctor in cases of acute illness in children is discussed.
