Improving family planning care for the poor will contribute little to solving population problems in the United States but it is a necessary condition for making other measures in the War Against Poverty effective. Research on programs in industrialized countries is also valuable to test the generality of lessons learned in Taiwan Korea and elsewhere. The Planned Parenthood project in New York here described indeed reinforces the conclusions of other studies previously reported in this bulletin. It confirms the greater effectiveness of personal contacts over public information and among the former of home visits over group meetings. The Mobile Service Demonstration Project is the first large-scale venture of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America into social science research. The design of the project was presented by Dr. Alan F. Guttmacher President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America at the Popultion Conference sponsored by the United Nations in Belgrade in 1965. This first progress report was prepared by Steven Polgar PPFAs Director of Research with the help of Mrs. Frances Rothstein Mrs. Miriam E. Manisoff Miss Cornelia Van Vleck and Miss Judy Weiner of the Research Department staff. (excerpt)
