title: Accessibility and organizational settings for public supported family planning services.
abstract: This article reports on a survey of public supported family planning clinic users' travel time, appointment-delay time and waiting-room time. Comparisons of policy norms are made with three contraceptive organizational settings: hospitals, freestanding and community health clinics. The findings reveal freestanding and community health clinics were more accessible. This study suggests that despite the variety of public supported family planning clinics most were accessible to low-income women in western Pennsylvania.
