Abstract
Description
The topic of this article was the need for parent education which appeared to be needed at both the national and local levels. The method of delivering parent education and the content of parent education programs varied from community to community. It was been suggested that the most successful parent education occurs when the information is presented is relevant to the needs of parents. Little was known about parents' use of specific information sources regarding childrearing, the usefulness of these sources, and parents' expressed need for information about childrearing.
