I've been using the seatbelt/car seat analogy quite a bit lately,>>>>>>
Mary Kay, similarily, I've been using the smoking analogy, ie; the risk of
not avoiding sucking pollutants into your lungs that you could avoid or
limit/smoking, are now well known to the public, .....but there are people who smoke
all their lives and do not get lung cancer or CVD, and there are people who
never smoked and got lung cancer and CVD, but still the risks based on statistics
are well documented and advertised, avoiding an unhealthy or bad behavior =
less risk, .....this seems to be an analogy many expectant and new parents and
health care staff can understand.
