To the Editor.—

Policy statements and articles that appear in Pediatrics, Pediatrics in Review, and News and Comment of the American Academy of Pediatrics attempt to disseminate information about various legal and social issues that are important to pediatricians. Because we were interested to learn whether or not our house officers were knowledgeable in these areas, we administered a quiz to the 22 residents and to the 15 full-time faculty members in our department. The physicians could respond by marking "true," "false," or "don't know."
