Methods: Cross—sectional study carried out in the city of Rosario, Santa Fe (May 2018—May 2019). Online surveys were sent to pediatric and general practitioners, and key informants were interviewed. The axes of inquiry were: appreciation of the tool, training strategies, and interventions to promote its use and interpretation. The analysis was quali—qualitative. Results: 95 surveys were completed and eight interviews were conducted. The adoption of the World Health Organization standards was considered a favorable change for Argentina. The interventions considered most useful by the surveyed physicians were: maintenance of equipment for anthropometric measurements, printing of growth charts for individual use, and promotion of nutritional counseling. Differences of opinion between physicians at health care centers and those in a management position were given by feasibility. Discussion: The physician’s opinions represent a great contribution to improve the quality of the control of child growth in primary health care. Objetivo: a más de 10 años del cambio del patrón de referencia del crecimiento infantil en argentina, se realizó un estudio para conocer el estado de implementación de los estándares de crecimiento de 0 a 5 años de la organización mundial de la salud en atención primaria de la salud. Métodos: estudio transversal realizado en la ciudad de rosario, santa fe (mayo 2018—mayo 2019). Se enviaron encuestas en línea a médicos pediatras y generalistas, y se entrevistaron a informantes clave. Los ejes de indagación fueron: valoración de la herramienta, estrategias de capacitación, e intervenciones para promover el uso e interpretación. El análisis fue cuali—cuantitativo. Resultados: se completaron 95 encuestas y se realizaron ocho entrevistas. La adopción de los estándares oms fue considerado un cambio favorable para la argentina. Las intervenciones de valoradas como de mayor utilidad para optimizar el uso de los estándares de la organización mundial de la salud por los médicos encuestados fueron: mantenimiento de los equipos para mediciones antropométricas, promoción de consejería nutricional e impresión de gráficas de crecimiento para uso individual. Las diferencias de opinión entre los médicos de los centros de salud y quienes ocupan un cargo en gestión estuvieron dadas por la factibilidad de algunas intervenciones en atención primaria de la salud. Conclusión: existen estrategias tendientes a favorecer la implementación de intervenciones valoradas por los médicos de la red de atención primaria que permitirían un mayor aprovechamiento de los estándares de la organización mundial de la salud.
