母亲教育对婴儿死亡率的影响已在卫生和社会科学文献中反复得到证明。母亲受教育程度的影响则较少被探讨。在这篇论文中，作者研究了祖母教育对母亲行为的可能影响。报告了代际教育与选定的健康行为之间的关系，包括利用健康服务进行产前护理、母乳喂养和计划生育。这些数据是在玻利维亚圣克鲁斯郊区0到18个月大的婴儿的母亲中收集的。看来，祖母的教育对健康行为的影响确实超过了母亲教育的影响。这种影响对于显然属于正规保健系统领域的保健服务来说更为明显。虽然结果是探索性的，但结果表明，在设计具有文化敏感性的高质量卫生服务时，值得进一步研究和考虑母亲的影响。(C)2000爱思唯尔科学有限公司。保留所有权利。
The influence of maternal education on infant mortality has been demonstrated repeatedly in health and social science literature. Less explored is the influence of the education level of the mother's mother. In the present paper the authors examine the possible effect of grandmother's education on maternal behaviors. The relationship between intergenerational education and selected health behaviors, including utilization of health services for prenatal care, breast-feeding and family planning, are reported. The data were collected in peri-urban Santa Cruz, Bolivia among mothers of infants between 0 and 18 months of age. It appears that grandmother's education does exert an effect on health behaviors above and beyond the effect of maternal education. This effect is:more pronounced for health services which fall clearly in the domain of the formal health care system. While the results are exploratory, the results suggest the worth of further study and consideration of the influence of mothers' mothers in the design of culturally sensitive quality health services.
