As recommended and regardless of the professional practice, vitamin D supplementation was almost systematically prescribed in all age groups (over 90 % of respondents), in daily doses up to 2 years of age (97 % of all respondents) and then every 3 months in older children (year-round in 38 % and winter/spring only in 40 %). Contrary to the new recommendations, loading doses of 200,000 units of vitamin D were prescribed by 5 % of respondents and non-pharmaceutical forms of vitamin D (<em>e.g.</em> unlicensed food supplements) were prescribed by 10 % of respondents. Although risk factors such as low sun exposure and dark skin were well known by respondents (75 % and 74 % respectively), obesity and veganism were only reported by half the respondents (40 % and 53 % respectively). Two-thirds (61 %) of respondents reported assessing calcium intakes when following children; however, only 10 % of them use specific questionnaires or calcium equivalence tables.
