Parents (n = 500) were surveyed about which professional groups they were most likely to seek and follow advice from regarding child discipline as well as their use of corporal punishment (CP). Nearly half of the parents reported that they were most likely to seek child discipline advice from pediatricians (48%), followed by religious leaders (21%) and mental health professionals (18%). Parents who sought advice from religious leaders (vs pediatricians) had nearly 4 times the odds of reporting use of CP. Parents reported that they were more likely to follow the advice of pediatricians than any other professional; however, black parents were as likely to follow the advice of religious leaders as that of pediatricians. Pediatricians play a central role in advising parents about child discipline. Efforts to engage pediatricians in providing violence prevention counseling should continue. Increased efforts are needed to engage other professionals, especially religious leaders, in providing such advice to parents.
对500名家长进行了调查，询问他们在儿童管教方面最有可能寻求并听从哪些专业人士的建议，以及他们使用体罚（CP）的情况。近一半的家长表示，他们最有可能向儿科医生寻求儿童管教建议（48%），其次是宗教领袖（21%）和心理健康专业人士（18%）。向宗教领袖（与儿科医生相比）寻求建议的家长报告使用体罚的几率几乎是前者的4倍。家长们表示，他们比其他任何专业人士都更有可能听从儿科医生的建议；然而，黑人家长听从宗教领袖建议的可能性与听从儿科医生建议的可能性相同。儿科医生在为家长提供儿童管教建议方面发挥着核心作用。应继续努力促使儿科医生提供预防暴力咨询。需要加大力度促使其他专业人士，尤其是宗教领袖，为家长提供此类建议。
