Newborns are breast fed more frequently in Israel than in the United States (92% vs. 57%). Differences in the attitudes of the two countries might suggest interventions to increase breast feeding. We studied the breast-feeding attitudes of high school girls in Israel and the United States using a 21-item questionnaire. Israeli girls were significantly more positive about breast feeding than U.S. girls. Israeli girls answered 13 items positively more frequently than U.S. girls, while American girls responded positively more frequently than Israeli girls for only two items. Israeli girls were more likely to plan on breast feeding (68.2% vs. 42.4%). We speculate that interventions designed to improve the breast-feeding attitudes of young people may increase the prevalence of breast feeding.
在以色列，新生儿母乳喂养的频率高于美国（92% 对 57%）。两国态度上的差异可能暗示了增加母乳喂养的干预措施。我们使用一份包含21个条目的问卷研究了以色列和美国高中女生对母乳喂养的态度。以色列女生对母乳喂养的态度明显比美国女生更积极。以色列女生对13个条目的肯定回答比美国女生更频繁，而美国女生仅在两个条目上比以色列女生更频繁地给出肯定回答。以色列女生更有可能计划进行母乳喂养（68.2% 对 42.4%）。我们推测，旨在改善年轻人对母乳喂养态度的干预措施可能会提高母乳喂养的普及率。
