Bright Futures

The Bright Futures Patient Education handouts that are accessible in OP are patient-facing materials that are intended as educational Visit takeaways. Below, we've provided a list of Clinician-facing materials¹ that are not intended for sharing with patients and are for Provider and Clinical Staff reference only to help with the implementation of Bright Futures Guidelines. These materials were developed and made accessible by the AAP and are available directly from the Bright Futures Tip Sheets for Clinical Practices. We've included PDFs of them here for easy access. They've been categorized as follows:
