Two studies were performed to gauge the prevalence of and attitudes towards breast-feeding. Mothers delivered in one month in 1975 and in one month in 1977 were sent a questionnaire one month later to determine whether they were breast-feeding their babies; those that were received a second questionnaire at three months. The prevalence of breast-feeding increased significantly between 1975 and 1977, and in both periods primiparas were more likely to breast-feed than multiparas. A survey of mothers' intentions to breast-feed showed that there were no significant racial differences, but that 82% of women in social classes I and II intended to breast-feed compared with 54% in classes IV and V. These results show that, although the level of breast-feeding was high in 1975, a campaign directed at mothers, doctors, midwives, and health visitors did increase the prevalence of breast-feeding.
开展了两项研究以评估母乳喂养的普及率及相关态度。1975年一个月内分娩的母亲以及1977年一个月内分娩的母亲在一个月后收到一份调查问卷，以确定她们是否正在母乳喂养婴儿；那些正在母乳喂养的母亲在三个月时收到第二份调查问卷。1975年至1977年期间，母乳喂养的普及率显著上升，并且在这两个时期，初产妇比经产妇更有可能进行母乳喂养。一项关于母亲母乳喂养意愿的调查显示，不存在显著的种族差异，但社会阶层I和II中有82%的女性打算母乳喂养，而社会阶层IV和V中这一比例为54%。这些结果表明，尽管1975年母乳喂养水平较高，但针对母亲、医生、助产士和健康访视员开展的一项活动确实提高了母乳喂养的普及率。
