A questionnaire was sent to 83 pediatricians to determine which issues they considered important in the pediatric prenatal visit. Of the 64 respondents, 58 do prenatal interviews.

The finding that few respondents focused the interview on psychological aspects of parenthood raises questions about the role of the prenatal visit in pediatric care.
