Annotation: The purpose of this study was to gather data that would be descriptive of consultant nurse functions in the special field of maternal and child health which could be used by educational institutions in preparing such consultants and by public health administrators responsible for consultant nursing services. The study addresses the percent of time MCH nursing consultants estimate they spend in various major areas of their program; the percent of time they spend in various consultant functions; the percent of time taken with other functions; the subareas within a given major program that receive the most, some, or no emphasis, and the degree of emphasis among major program areas; which subprogram areas seem to receive maximum emphasis; whether the titles of consultants influence the types of program activities in which they are involved; whether there is a relationship between the title of consultants and the type of program areas in which they work; and geographic variations in program emphasis.
