The effects of a didactic lecture and discussion about their hospitalized child's illness upon parents' knowledge of that illness are evaluated. Parents attending such lectures achieved significantly greater success than those parents of a non-attending group in their ability to recognize true facts about rheumatic fe ver and in their ability to avoid sub scription to contradictory statements.

Significant changes in knowledge which also occurred in the non-attending group attest to the value of multiple channels of communication within the hospital as aids in parent education. Fail ure to keep subsequent follow up ap pointments tended to be associated with failure to learn about the child's illness during the course of this study.
