Abstract

The article "Parents’ Knowledge of Respiratory Disease: A Comparison of Inner-City and Suburban Parents," by William Tomlinson (Pediatrics 56:1009, December 1975) deserves comment. We are supportive of the concepts of health education; however, the study lacks the rigorous approach of most studies published in Pediatrics. If education is to be accepted as a viable means of improving health, high standards of quality must be applied to research in this field. The methodological deficiencies lead us to question the validity of the findings.
