A sample of 189 psychiatrists were surveyed to determine their attitudes toward preventive activities with high-risk children in clinical practice. Respondents indicated generally positive attitudes toward the appropriateness and efficacy of such activities but expressed uncertainty about the ethicality of prevention and about the knowledge base on which such activities rest. Psychiatrists perceived serious barriers to preventive activities due to financial, educational, and time factors. Important attitudinal differences were related to the respondents' age, career aspirations, membership on an academic faculty, number of scholarly articles published, marital status, number of vacation days taken in the previous year, and training in child psychiatry. Psychiatrists whose personal health beliefs favored an internal locus of control were more positively inclined toward preventive activities.
对189名精神科医生进行了调查，以确定他们在临床实践中对针对高危儿童的预防活动的态度。受访者对这类活动的适当性和有效性总体上持积极态度，但对预防的伦理问题以及此类活动所依据的知识基础表示不确定。精神科医生认为，由于财务、教育和时间因素，预防活动存在严重障碍。重要的态度差异与受访者的年龄、职业抱负、是否在学术机构任职、发表的学术文章数量、婚姻状况、前一年的休假天数以及儿童精神病学培训有关。个人健康信念倾向于内控点的精神科医生对预防活动的态度更为积极。
