Postnatal screening and care for non-medical risk factors by preventive child healthcare in deprived and non-deprived neighbourhoods.

PCHC professionals consider screening for non-medical risk factors as their responsibility. Consequently, they felt a need for a structured postnatal risk assessment and for an intensified collaboration with other healthcare professionals.
