Abstract

This paper describes some models of health education as a context for considering data from a recent study of mothers' and health visitors' perspectives on good child health care. Most health visitors favoured an individualistic top-down approach aimed at changing mothers' behaviour. Mothers preferred a dialogue which started from their own priorities.
