Abstract
Parents of MMC patients have strong attitudes and beliefs on specific issues. They believed in the need to be involved in decisions regarding their children and felt strongly that their role was central and was important as that of the physician. They believed also in the importance of providing both medical and nutritional care to handicapped infants with a minimum of government intrusion.
