BF POCKET GUIDE - 4TH ED - 01-2017.indd 2 1/20/17 2:00 PM This work honors our coeditor, Paula Duncan, MD, FAAP, without whose energy, insight, and spirit these Guidelines would not have achieved relevance for current pediatric practice. She reminds us that “the heart of Bright Futures is establishing trust to build a therapeutic ­relationship,” and she has championed and devoted her career to the use of strength-based approaches. And this is who she is. Dr Duncan’s warmth, joyfulness, and ability to see the best in people enable her to behold the innate strengths of families. It is her passion to teach all of us how to see families as she does and serve them better. This focus on strengths and protective factors in the clinical encounter of preventive services is her essential contribution to our Bright Futures Guidelines, 4th Edition. Joe Hagan Judy Shaw

BF POCKET GUIDE - 4TH ED - 01-2017.indd 122 1/20/17 2:00 PM Sexual Maturity Ratings Sexual maturity ratings (SMRs) are widely used to assess adolescents, physical development during puberty in 5 stages (from preadolescent to adult). Also known as Tanner stages, SMRs are a way of assessing the degree of maturation of secondary sexual characteristics. The developmental stages of the adolescent’s sexual characteristics should be rated separately (ie, one stage for pubic hair and one for breasts in females, one stage for pubic hair and one for genitals in males), because these characteristics may differ in their degree of maturity. Sexual Maturity Ratings: Males Sexual Maturity Ratings: Females SMR PUBIC HAIR SMR PUBIC HAIR Stage 1 None Stage 1 None Stage 2 Scanty, long, slightly pigmented, primarily at base of penis Stage 2 Sparse, slightly pigmented, straight, at medial border of labia Stage 3 Darker, courser, starts to curl, small amount Stage 3 Darker, beginnning to curl, increased amount Stage 4 Course, curly, resembles adult tyoe but covers smaller area Stage 4 Course, curly, abundant, but amount less than in adult Stage 5 Adult quantity and distribution, spread to medial surface of thighs Stage 5 Adult feminine triangle, spread to medial surface of thighs SMR GENITALS SMR BREASTS Penis Testes Stage 1 Preadolescent Stage 1 Preadolescent Preadolescent Stage 2 Breast and papilla elevated as small mound; areolar diameter reincreased Stage 2 Slight enlargement Slight enlargement of testes and scrotum; Stage 3 Breast and aerola enlarged, no contour separation scrotal skin reddened, texture altered Stage 4 Areola and papilla form secondary mound. Stage 3 Longer Further enlargement of testes and scrotum Stage 5 Mature. Nipple projects. Areola part of general breast contour. Stage 4 Larger in breadth. Glans penis develops.
