[Sociodemographic research on family planning: the case of the Health Department].
The Head Office for Family Planning of the Mexican Ministry of Health implemented a program of sociodemographic research for the purpose of studying family planning. On the basis of the sociodemographic profile drawn up in 1983--the year in which said research program was initiated--research needs were gradually identified and then met by means of surveys and monographs for individual states in Mexico. This paper comments on the main features of the research projects that have been carried out. We order to show the data bank which the Head Office for Family Planning has at the present time for studying the phenomenon all of its activities are centered around.
