Management Information Systems in Maternal and Child Health/Family Planning Programs
A diagnosis was conducted of management information systems (MIS) for maternal and child health and family planning programs in 27 African, 5 Asian, and 8 Latin American and Caribbean countries. The diagnosis covered the collection and use of information on physical infrastructure, human resources, equipment/supplies, services provided, coverage attained, and program quality and impact. It was found that many programs do not produce certain basic…
Post Family Planning Acceptance Experience in the Caribbean
This survey of family planning acceptors in 2 Caribbean countries indicates that women are effective contraceptors with all-contraception continuation rates similar to those in comparable studies. Clinic utilization patterns are erratic with only 15% of the acceptors keeping all of their follow-up appointments. The postacceptance fertility rates were only somewhat lower than those of the general population. Family planning acceptors had between 1…

Agent Characteristics and Productivity in the Mexican Rural Health Program
This article analyzes the initial results of a primary health care program in Mexico in which rural residents are being trained to serve as health agents in their communities. Particular emphasis is placed on variability in results attributable to agent and nurse supervisor characteristics supervisor/community ratios and population sizes of the communities served. This analysis is restricted to the results in the 3000 communities with service sta…
Contraceptive Acceptability Research
Acceptability studies employing attitudinal and/or behavioral variables have inspired semantic controversies and confusion. The limits of acceptability studies are reviewed using Mexican attitudinal studies as examples. Mexican attitudinal studies are classified according to 3 types; hypothetical methods and attributes of methods; methods in clinical trials; and culturally based attitudes. In 2 studies of family planning and method attitudes fear…
Recent Trends in Contraceptive Use in Mexico
The microscopic mechanism behind the all optical switching (AOS) in ferromagnets has triggered intense scientific debate. Here, the microscopic three-temperature model is utilized to describe AOS in a perpendicularly magnetized ferromagnetic Co/Pt system. We demonstrate that AOS in such a ferromagnet can be explained with the Inverse Faraday Effect (IFE). The influence of the strength and lifetime of the IFE induced field pulse on the switching p…
The Impact of Organization of Family Planning Clinics on Waiting Time
Mathematical simulations and structured observations were used to assess factors in family planning clinic procedures responsible for long waiting times for clients. Principal causes of unnecessarily long waiting times in selected clinics of a Mexican program included: inflexibilty of client's routes within the clinic and of staff functions, late arrival of staff, patterns of client arrival times, and the proportion of clients seen by the doctor
The Mexican Experience with Postpartum/Postabortion Programs, 1970-1972
The Foundation for the Study of Population which is a private national family planning program offering subsidized services to the poorer sectors of the Mexican population was evaluated after 3 years of experience. It was concluded that this program was probably the most efficient means of promoting family planning yet tried in Mexico because it gave family planning and contraceptive education to large numbers of potential acceptors at 1 time and…
