The Monterey County Health Initiative
Twenty months after the California State Department of Health Services turned its Medicaid program in Monterey County over to a local health care authority, the Monterey County Health Initiative (MCHI), the state terminated the pilot project in favor of a return to fee-for-service reimbursement. The MCHI, plagued from its inception with shaky provider support and a flawed program design, failed to demonstrate its anticipated cost savings. The key…
Patterns of contraceptive method of use by California family planning clinic clients, 1976-84
Trends in contraceptive method of use by California family planning clients, 1976-84, are reviewed. Although use of foam and condoms doubled from 1976 to 1980 and was sustained, interest peaked but markedly declined for the diaphragm. Oral contraceptive (OC) use declined overall and most notably for older women, but there are indications in 1983 and 1984 of a slight OC "come back". Older women were more likely to choose methods free from medical …
Assessing the impact of copayment on family planning services
A legislatively mandated copayment system for California state-funded family planning services was evaluated after the first six months of experience.

Of most significance was the decline in the use of oral contraceptives (OC) and the concurrent rise in nonprescription methods at all ages. A striking difference in OC use between the earlier and latter time periods was noted for women age 40 and older
