Abstract
American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) fellows responded to a questionna ire measuring knowledge of 1991 Centers for Disease Control and Preven tion (CDC) guidelines. Generalists' scores on a knowledge scale were p ositively correlated with reporting CDC and AAP documents as knowledge sources, and negatively correlated with private practice, medical sch ool as a knowledge source, and age. However, private practitioners who read AAP documents scored well.
