As part of a larger investigation of health behaviors and beliefs during pregnancy, a sample of 529 women were asked to identify their major sources of information about what they should and should not do during their pregnancies. Health care providers and books were cited as first or second most important by the largest number of respondents. When associations between respondent characteristics and preferred information sources were explored, it was found that women of higher socioeconomic status (SES) relied more on books and less on family than did women of lower SES. In addition, having had a previous pregnancy was associated with greater use of one's self as an information source. Although provider characteristics were not associated with choice of information source, women who perceived more support from their providers viewed them as more important sources of information. A similar effect for family was found. Health locus of control beliefs also were related to the relative importance of selected sources of information, while general social support was not.
作为一项关于孕期健康行为和观念的大型调查的一部分，529名女性被要求指出她们获取孕期应做和不应做之事相关信息的主要来源。医疗保健人员和书籍被最多受访者列为最重要的前两位信息来源。在探究受访者特征与首选信息来源之间的关联时发现，社会经济地位较高的女性相比社会经济地位较低的女性更多地依赖书籍，更少依赖家人。此外，有过怀孕经历的女性更多地将自身作为信息来源。尽管医疗保健人员的特征与信息来源的选择无关，但那些认为从医疗保健人员那里得到更多支持的女性将他们视为更重要的信息来源。家人方面也发现了类似的效应。健康控制点信念也与所选信息来源的相对重要性相关，而一般社会支持则不然。
