“…Parent education refers to any type of educational resource, program, or intervention designed to increase parental compete:nce and self-esteem (Matese, Shorr, & Jason, 1982). Research indicates that new parents frequently enter parenthood with insufficient information, inadequate skills, and low self-confidence regarding their new role (Crummette, 1975).…”

“…Williams and Duncan (1976), for example, found more weight loss among those in a Weight Watchers's class than among others treated in a hospital setting with prescribed diets, group sessions, and use of active appetite suppressant drugs. Others have reported favorable results with self-help groups in working with weight loss (Stuart, 1977), widows (Barrett, 1978), the elderly (Lieberman & Gourash, 1979), and first-time parents (Matese, Shorr, & Jason, 1982). There is a clear need for better documentation of the benefits that can be derived from participation in self-help groups.…”

An alternative approach for delivering mental health services through the media is one which taps skills and resources other than those of experts-for example, those offered through selfhelp groups. This article describes a project that consisted of putting ongoing self-help groups on the radio for 7 kr a week. The first half hour each week involved an actual session of a self-help group; during the second half hour, calls from the audience were taken and answered by members of the group. Increases in referral calls to each group were found after the self-help groups went on the air. Process recordings of the shows were useful in documenting the communication patterns employed during the shows. Finally, a panel of mental health professionals judged that the programs did not provide unethical, harmful, or inaccurate information. The present project provided a demonstration of how researchers can work collaboratively with media and self-help groups in monitoring change in community-level types of interventions.The various media sources, including television, radio, newspapers, and journals, have important influences on the promotion of healthy as well as unhealthy life patterns.The media today captures an appreciable amount of people's time; the average American spends 4 hr a day watching television, 2% hr listening to the radio, 30 min reading newspapers, and 15 min reading magazines (White, 1981). Given the fact that the media reach practically all members of the community, some psychologists have begun extending mental health services through various media sources (Christensen, Miller, & Munoz, 1978). Talkback radio, for example, has been used to help distressed individuals solve problems (Monaghan, Shun Wah, Stewart, & Smith, 1978;Wolkon & Moriwaki, 1977). Mental health professionals have also used the media to increase a community's ability to cognitively restructure problem situations (Schanie
