Linn County Parent Education Survey Summary 2005 Iowa State University Extension in cooperation with the Linn County Parent Education Consortium conducted an assessment of parenting education needs in Linn County. Ninety-three (93) surveys were administered to parents attending Early Childhood Child Check appointments conducted by Grant Wood AEA specialists during April 2005. Surveys were collected from 75 mothers and 18 fathers, ranging in age from 21 – 50 years old, from 3 community school districts: Hiawatha, Center Point/Urbana, and Linn Mar. All parents surveyed had at least one child under the age of 6. In Hiawatha, a suburban community near Cedar Rapids (13/20 mothers = 65%), and Center Point/Urbana, a rural area in northern Linn County , (14/16 mothers = 88%) populations tended to consist of working mothers. The Linn Mar district, which is a mix of urban, suburban, and rural areas near Marion and Cedar Rapids , had a larger percentage of stay-at-home moms (56% vs 44% working moms). Overall, (59%) 44 of the 75 mothers surveyed work part or full time outside the home. Results: When fathers have a concern about their child or some aspect of parenting, they tend to go to the child's mother or friends and co-workers for help and information. Sixty-six percent (66%) of fathers also use their own parents or relatives as a resource. Pediatricians, nurses, internet and child care providers were also mentioned as sources of parenting help.
