[Social stratum and attitude towards health during pregnancy (author's transl)].
In the present empirical study including about 400young mothers from variously structured regions and different social strata, it to could be shown that, in comparison with mothers from the middle and upper strata, mothers of the basic stratum - subjectively know less about possible problems of pregnancy and acquire their information more frequently from mass communication media; - are less frequently under the care of gynecologists than of general practitioners at the beginning and during pregnancy; - are to a lesser extent convinced of the efficiency of public maternity care and have not sufficiently adopted the idea of preventive medical examination in the sense of a norm of behaviorism. The regional differences demonstrated were of less importance than the social differences.
