ABSTRACT

The 42 member organizations and 14 others who had received help from the International Planned Parenthood

Federation (IPPF) were asked to supply questionnaire information for 1964 in an attempt to assess the work being

done in family planning by the IPPF. The questionnaire covered 1) finance, 2) clinic structure and personnel, 3) staff

training, 4) types of publicity, 5) mobile vans, 6) patient recruitment, and 7) contraceptive methods available.

Financial resources available from outside sources varied directly with amount of government support. Training was

mostly on the job or through exchange with other associations. Personal contact was the most effective method for

recruiting new patients. IUDs emerged as the method for recruiting new patients. IUDs emerged as the method most

favored by associations already using or hoping to use them. Training of personnel and research were both directed

toward IUDs. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT9T 1561-06)
