The patterns of breast feeding and the effect of health education on the practice among three groups of women, namely a rural poor group, an urban poor group and an urban elite group were studied. Although the rural poor had the least knowledge about the advantages of breast feeding, the median duration of breast feeding was longest in this group and only 32% of them had introduced supplementary feeds by the end of the first month. Health education did not appear to be a critical factor in motivating these mothers to feed their children the right way. Rather, socio-economic factors particularly poverty appeared to be the compelling factor with regards to duration of breast feeding and time of introduction of supplementary feeds.
研究了农村贫困组、城市贫困组和城市精英组这三组女性的母乳喂养模式以及健康教育对其母乳喂养行为的影响。尽管农村贫困人口对母乳喂养优势的了解最少，但该组母乳喂养的中位数持续时间最长，到第一个月末只有32%的人添加了辅食。健康教育似乎不是促使这些母亲以正确方式喂养孩子的关键因素。相反，社会经济因素尤其是贫困似乎是影响母乳喂养持续时间和添加辅食时间的主要因素。
