Effect of education on health susan jayne. The effect of education on health. (p. 294-299). The mother"s education tends to have a stronger affect than the father"s education on their child"s health (jayne, 1999, p. 294). Education"s effect is small in the neonatal period, but it increases in the postneonatal, toddler, and early childhood periods (jayne, 1999, p. 294). The effect of education does not have a consistent threshold, and even a small amount of education seems to matter. (jayne, 1999, p. 294) In 1991, bicego and boreman conducted a seventeen-country study that revealed that more educated women utilize curative and preventative health services for their children more frequently than do the less educated (jayne, 1999, p. 294). One of education"s main effects is to change a woman"s worldview and self-image. Thus she is more willing to challenge conventional beliefs, practices, and authority figures and is more confident in interacting with health professionals (jayne, 1999, p. 295)
