In research designed to investigate and develop health care settings as resources for parenting information, 82 physicians' waiting rooms were surveyed. Less than a third of the waiting rooms surveyed provided any parenting information, but a majority of physicians agreed to display parenting pamphlets for a trial period. All found them useful to their patients, wanted more, and are continuing to display them on an ongoing basis. Providing parenting information like this is a simple intervention in aid of families that nurses could initiate in a variety of health care settings.
