The standards will be launched on 27 April 2006 by the Queen of Norway.

The Web page provides considerable information on the new WHO Child Growth Standards  http://www.who.int/childgrowth/en/. 

As you will see the standards themselves are to be launched in April, and then you will be able to find them here, too.

Have fun exploring. For example, a very informative 29-minute documentary video - "A growth curve for the 21st century" - can be downloaded in English, French and Spanish by clicking on "The Multicentre Growth Reference Study" in the far left-hand column.
