title: Health visitors' perceptions of breastfeeding mothers.
abstract: A study to assess health visitors' perceptions of pregnant women most likely to breastfeed revealed that many did not recognise the significance of all factors identified in previous research as indicating a negative attitude. CHRISTOPHER DRACUP and ELIZABETH SANDERSON discuss the application of these factors in identifying mothers for breastfeeding promotion.
