Purposeful recruitment was used to achieve a national, representative sample of 2100 Australian parents, reflective of demographic and geographic distribution based on census data. Parents were asked to indicate their degree of confidence in a GP<\/jats:styled-content> to handle medical problems as well as their preference for, and use of, paediatric speciality care for their children.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>Fewer than half of parents (44%) reported that they were completely confident<\/jats:italic> in a GP<\/jats:styled-content> to provide general care as defined as \u2018can handle almost all general health issues for my child\u2019. A slightly greater proportion of parents (56%) were completely confident in a GP<\/jats:styled-content> to provide care for minor injuries, defined as injuries not requiring an X\u2010ray. Greater confidence in general care was seen among parents >40 years of age and those whose GP<\/jats:styled-content> is always bulk billed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>Parental confidence in GPs<\/jats:styled-content> is an important issue. Our findings that fewer than half of parents are completely confident in their GP<\/jats:styled-content> to provide general care to their child may be an influencing factor on current health\u2010care utilisation trends. The potential implications of low parental confidence in GPs<\/jats:styled-content> are greater numbers of emergency department presentations for children with lower urgency conditions and increased referrals of children for specialty care.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jpc.13677","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,4]],"date-time":"2017-09-04T04:32:39Z","timestamp":1504499559000},"page":"127-131","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["National study of parental confidence in general practitioners"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"54","author":[{"given":"Gary L","family":"Freed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health Policy University of Melbourne Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Neil","family":"Spike","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Victorian Metropolitan Alliance Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jonathan","family":"O'Hara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Harriet","family":"Hiscock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Community Child Health Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anthea L","family":"Rhodes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Medicine Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/a0018114"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2013-002762"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","volume-title":"A Healthier Future for All Australians","author":"National Heath and Hospitals Reform Commission","year":"2009"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","volume-title":"A Decade of Australian General Practice Activity 2004\u201305 to 2013\u201314","author":"Britt H","year":"2014"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","first-page":"715","article-title":"Changes in the demography of Australia and therefore general practice patient populations","volume":"41","author":"Freed GL","year":"2012","journal-title":"Aust.
