Why do village health workers drop out?

C Chevalier1, A Lapo, J O'Brien, T F Wierzba.   

Abstract

A study in the Solomon Islands has revealed that training before the age of 20 and irregularity of remuneration are the main factors explaining why village health workers leave their posts. Other causes are dissatisfaction with levels of payment and promotion, lack of community support, and family concerns.
