ABSTRACT

Targets for family planning were exceeded in the Gujarat State of India in 1974-1975. The Gujarat experience is

reviewed with the hope that others may use it as an example. Factors in the family planning recruitment success

were: 1) advance planning taking local factors into account; 2) use of high financial incentives, with the money raised

mostly through private sources; 3) recognition of effective recruiters; 4) use of various types of family planning

camps; 5) support by local governments and voluntary organizations; 6) intensification of the pregnancy termination

program; 7) combination of child innoculation prog rams with family planning services; 8) operational plans based

on field experience; and 9) the interest and support of government officials. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T
