title: Cost-benefit evaluations in primary health care.
abstract: Social work programs in primary health care (PHC) agencies have been well patronized and effective, but the expansion of social worker involvement in PHC depends on cost-benefit evaluations that satisfy the financial requirements of those who run PHC--the physicians. This article outlines a model for determining the cost-benefit performance of PHC social work programs.
