Abstract
In this study, government midwives were teamed with currently satisfied IUD acceptors to strengthen field motivational and recruitment efforts. The objective was to increase the number of new IUD acceptors. In the experimental study areas, a total of 3,019 new IUD acceptors were recruited. Time series regression analysis revealed a significant difference between the experimental and comparison areas that was over and above what might be expected on the basis of the past history of differences between these two areas. These and other findings suggest that teaming currently satisfied acceptors with government field-workers can have a substantial impact on the recruitment of new family planning users.Keywords: Acceptors; Acceptors, New; Asia; Behavior; Communication; Comparative Studies; Contraception; Contraception Continuation; Contraceptive Methods; Delivery Of Health Care; Developing Countries; Family Planning; Family Planning Program Evaluation; Family Planning Programs; Health; Health Facilities; Health Personnel; Influentials; Iud; Knowledge Sources; Midwives; Motivation; Operations Research; Organization And Administration; Program Effectiveness; Program Evaluation; Programs; Psychological Factors; Research Methodology; Research Report; Satisfaction; Southern Asia; Sri Lanka; Studies; Systems Analysis; Training Programs
