title: [Birth in the rural area: an evaluation of prevention of perinatal risk in rural areas].
abstract: A study was designed and implemented between 1983 and 1985 in order to evaluate the effectiveness of a personalized health education program designed for pregnant women in the specific context of rural areas. The action succeeded in increasing the proportion of women benefiting from a monthly antenatal surveillance but many other results underline the limitations of such prevention programs that would be restricted to the information of the general public and health professionals. Perinatal morbidity in the north-alpine rural area ranks very favourably compared to the regional or national figures.
