Abstract

Objective: To examine the educational effects of a tailored leaflet on current drinking behavior, thoughts about drinking alcohol during pregnancy, and knowledge of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) among pregnant women.

Design: Intervention.

Participants: We recruited pregnant women who were participating in maternity classes held at five municipal health centers in Saitama Prefecture and Tokyo in Japan.

Methods: Questionnaires were administered before and after distribution of either a tailored or a non-tailored leaflet and again after the women delivered their babies.

Results: More women read the non-tailored leaflet than the tailored one; this was because they felt they could read the non-tailored leaflet immediately. As for educational effects, the tailored leaflet was not superior to the non-tailored one in changing the women's behavior, thoughts, or knowledge.

Conclusion: It is more important for health education leaflets to seem easy to read in terms of volume than to be tailored.

针对怀孕期间饮酒的量身定制传单的教育效果。

目的:探讨定制单张对孕妇当前饮酒行为、孕期饮酒想法和胎儿酒精综合征(FAS)知识的教育作用。设计:干预。参与者:我们招募了参加在日本埼玉县和东京的五个市级保健中心举办的产妇班的孕妇。方法:在分发定制或非定制传单之前和之后以及在妇女分娩后再次进行问卷调查。结果:阅读非定制宣传单的女性多于阅读定制宣传单的女性;这是因为他们觉得他们可以立即阅读非定制的传单。至于教育效果，量身定制的传单在改变女性的行为、思想或知识方面并不优于非量身定制的传单。结论:健康教育宣传单的易读性比针对性更重要。
