The aim of the study is to investigate the feasibility of milk fluoridation as a vehicle for caries prevention, based on the current epidemiological status and its trends of dental caries in preschool children in the area of the Haidian District of Beijing, where the indications exist: Fluoride level in drinking water is low (0.2-0.3 ppm), and water fluoridation and other systemic uses of fluorides are unilkely. From 75.9 to 79.7% of 3-6-year-old children were identified as having high caries experience (dmft 4.29-4.35). It was found that 60% of the preschool children who attended kindergarten were 3-6 years old, and 40% of the 1-2-yearolds were living with their families. There is a local dairy to produce milk for the population living in this district. The amount of fresh milk produced daily is about 50,000-60,000 kg. A special kind of milk with vitamins A and D is also available for the preschool children. Data available from the Community MCH Centre indicated that the percentage of breast-feeding is 12% only. The first choice by parents for artificial feeding to the babies is fresh or powdered milk. Therefore, the breast-feeding project started in 1992. It is recommended that mothers' milk should be provided to the babies for at least four months after birth, when a specially prescribed milk for the babies, produced by the dairy, will be provided on a daily basis. The cost of milk is cheaper than others. In this connection, a five-year project on milk fluoridation as a pilot study at the community level for caries prevention of preschool children is now planned. The project is supported by BDMF, WHO, and Chinese MOPH.

Negative correlations are reported between concurrent measures of maternal authoritarian ideology and cognitive performance of 22 3-yr.-old middle-class children. Results support the hypothesis that nonauthoritarian parents promote earlier development of internalized verbal mediation.
