The primary purpose of this study was to ascertain the expressed
reasoas of the two groups of priuaiparous umilitary dependents for attending
or fer ao* &Sateding classes for expectant parets". In order to accomplish
this purpose, the twenty peimiparas who did not a&"ead classes far expec-
taut parents were asked two questions: the first concerned personal reasons
for not attending classes; and the second dealt with possible reasons Amr at-
tending, seeh classes. In addition. the ftietes peim1 parase who had attended
classes for expectant parents were asked three questions: the first ceacersed
per sews) reasons for attomdiag class*# for expectant parents; the secon re -
gjarded the meet helpful topic discuss"d in the classiest sand the last dealt
With saggoss an for imprevemeat in Whe classes. A discussi1on of eaoh of
these questimn follows.

that a greater proportion of primipar as, than those denoted by verbal reasons
for ee•attdamince, might net have felt a soed for the material presented in
the classes for expectant parents. As pointed out earlier, prior experiesce
in inifat care was oee of the factors differentiating between those primiparas
who attended the classes and those who did net attend. Fourteen, or 70 per
cost, of the primiparas. who did not attend the classes, reported prior ex-
periesce in infant care. It can be seen is Table 12 that 65 per ceot of this
same group thought mothers attended class". b6e"ase they "wanted to learn
how to care for the baby." Twenty-five per coat of those questioned thought
mothers attended the classes because they "rwasted to gaim more knowledge
about pregunacy, labor, and delivery."' Reasons such as 'some place to
drag the husband" sad "curiosity" were given by the remalning 10 per cent
of the primiparas. Before a definite coclusiosn cam be drawn regarding the
meaning of the above data, more information is needed about class content
and the interpretation made by primipara of this content.
Table 13 presents the responses given by primiparas who attended
classes for expectant parents to the question "why did you attend the
classes? ."
The reasomn given by the primiparas for attendi•g classes for ex-
pectaet parents indicates that all those who were questioned felt a seed to
increase their knowledge of ome or more of the following subjects: pregnancy,
labor, delivery, snd infant care. Sixty-three per cent of the primiparas in-
cluded the factor of infant care in their reasons. while 53 per coat included
labor sad delivery. Some aspect of pregnancy was mentioned in the reasons
'given by 43 per cent of the primiparas questioned.

of atteadance at classes for expectoant parents, were considered to be those
which were usually associated with aoaattendance at classes for expectant
parents. Five questions concerning reactioms to comments about classes
for expectant parents were also included in the study.
The chi-square with Yate'* correctiem was applied to the data from
the fifty-two factors studied to determine the significance of fisding a dif-
foresce as large or larger than observed between the two groups, namely.
those who atended classes for expectant pareats mad those who did not
attend any such classes. The cemfideance level for significance with one
degree of freedom was specified at .05.
The first hypothesis as stated for the study was that "there will be
no difference between primipsras who attended classes for expectant parents
mad primiparas who did not attoad such classes in terms of certan socio-
ecomomic factors." This hypothesis was rejected ia view of the fact that
four of the thirty-alae factors related to socioeconomic status were found
to be signiflcant at the .05 level or beyond. They were the following: age
of the primiparas (P -. 05), race of the primiparas (P 4.0l ). total
moethly family income (P <.05 and presence of the husband in the
home ( P 4.01 ).
Two of the thirteen factors related to influence of attendance at
classes for expectant parents were foud to be significant at the .05 level or
beyond. They were prior experience in infant care (P e.05) and source
of information regarding availability of classes (P <.01).
In terms of the above. six signifcant factors. it caa be concluded
Aft A
ithat Caucasian primiparas, age twenty-two or over, who report a total,
monthy, fsamiky income of foer hundred dollars or over, reside with their
husbands, peassss a* prior experience in infant care. and who report verbal
sources as their main source of Information regarding the availability of the
classes. are more likely to attend classes for expectant parents than are
N~egro primipaas unider age twenty-two. with a monthlky family income of
loes than four hundred dollars. residing apart from their husband*. possess
prior experience in infant care, and who learn of the classes through written
sources.
The second hypothesis as stated for the study was that "the m~a-
j or ity 9f primiparas failed to attend classes for expectant parents because
they do not feel a nee" for the Information presested.' This hypothesis
was rejected on the basis that the majority. or twelve. of the twenty primi-
parse who did net attend classes for expectant parents gave "did not want
to go alone"' as their reason for nonatkenanco. Only mne of the responidents
gave the reason that ehe "did not need the information."'
The majority of the primiparas, thirteen of twenty. or 65 per cent,
who did not attend the classes, thought that mothers attended classes for ex-
pectant parents because they wanted "'to learn how to care for the baby."
Five of twenty, or 25 per cent, of the primiparas gave "gain more knowledge
about pregnancy, labor, and delivery** as a possible reason for attendance.
All of the reasons given by the nineteen primiparas for attending
Iclasses for expectant parents indicated that they attended the classes be-
cause they wanted to increase their knowledge in one or more of four
