The discussion of parental leave has been occurring for several decades, and it is important to be aware of the constantly changing views people have. For this study, students in the University of Indianapolis community were given information about parental leave policies and were asked for their opinions. This study educated participants through the use of a fact sheet and an anecdotal passage about parental leave and gathered feedback about the current opinion of students in the University of Indianapolis community regarding parental leave policies. As a future occupational therapist, my goal is to make sure my patients are healthy and have the resources to succeed. An exploration of the current literature suggests that the health of mothers, fathers, and their children can be improved with paid parental leave programs (Daugher et al. 2013). The goal of this study was to see if perceptions about parental leave changed based on the kind of information people receive.
