This study examines in child-rearing groups and the activities of the groups based on a survey on 445 mothers with infants three to four months of age, living in metropolitan Tokyo and the southern part of Saitama prefecture.<BR>Major findings were in the following :<BR>1.Some 10% of subjects participated in child-rearing groups. Most of them had older children and participated for under three years. Some 30% of non-participating mothers wanted to join such groups.<BR>2. The groups, which most of mothers participated in were spontaneously formal on the basis of neighborhood relationships. The members met at least once a week or month at a member's home or at a public facility. They had little contact with public office or health care professionals. When they met, they played together, exchanged information, discussed, and advised one another. Assembling under a leader, their members were relatively fixed. Thus, most child-rearing groups were of a self-help nature.<BR>3. In comparison to non-participants, participants were less susceptible to physical discomfort, loss of vitality, on closer terms with neighbors, and received greater mental support from their husbands and practical help in child-rearing from their friends and neighbors. Furthermore, they assumed positive attitudes toward the group activities and wanted to remain as a members. Thus, it appeared that group activities for child-rearing could provide ongoing resources for problemsolving in the local community.<BR>4. At present, health care professionals develop and support child-rearing groups. Yet, our present investigation suggests that this support should be extended to those spontaneously formed group s as well. It is desirable that public health centers collect and provide information on local groups according to their needs make their resouces and expertise accessible to those groups.<BR>[J.J.H.E.P, 1995; 2: 17-26]
