From the Prenatal Ed Update Vol. 3 #1 January 15, 1998 Two out of three maternal health professionals responding to a Prenatal Ed Poll say that "lack of availability of quality print materials is a major barrier to prenatal education efforts." Those who disagree site obstacles to effective use of materials, most notably lack of funding... "Pregnancy is tough enough as it is..." The increasing number and complexity of prenatal procedures and growing emphasis on mothers' responsibility for self-care and self-management increases the need for printed information.
