Measuring the Childbearing Motivation of Couples Referred to the Shiraz Health Center for Premarital Examinations
Millions of children who were born during the first decade after the Islamic revolution in Iran are now reaching the age of marriage and childbearing. Short spacing between marriage and the birth of the first child has the potential to cause an excessive and costly increase in the growth of population in Iran.

Physician importation--a solution to developing countries' rural health care problems

The impact of the Kavar Village Health Worker Project on contraceptive knowledge, attitudes, and practice was studied 14 months after health workers were deployed in this pilot project in rural Iran.

Iranian villagers with basic literacy were recruited, selected, trained, and deployed as Village Health Workers (VHWs) to rural areas of Iran. VHW clinical visit records and activities logs were analyzed to determine levels and nature of effort achieved in the field. Within six months of deployment, the number of patient visits to VHW treatment services constituted 53% of the target population. Within ten months of deployment, the number of famil…

The present study compared two groups containing 232 village women each, matched for age and parity. One group had IUDs inserted by rural midwives and the other by physicians or nurse-midwives at ubran clinics. The one-year and two-year clos…
