  • Abstract
    Childrenʹs doses of drugs are prescribed according to bodyweight but in resource-poor countries weighing scales may be unavailable, inaccurate, or broken. We designed a length/weight tape for use in our community and found it reasonably accurate for weights of 4–16 kg and better than a clinicianʹs guess.
