Do Pediatricians Like Childish Ads?
To the Editor.— I have long thought that much of the advertising in pediatric journals is "childish": It uses cartoon-type drawings or comic strip characters. To evaluate this impression I counted the number of illustrated advertisements in one year's issues of three pediatric and two internal medicine journals and determined the proportion of "childish" advertisements found. Illustrated advertisements were those which contained any form of image (photograph, drawing, graph); "childish" advertising is defined above. Results may be seen in the Table.
