title: Please use the health services--more and more.
abstract: A project in Kheda district, Gujarat, India, has been designed to improve the utilization of health services through an educational drive at the grass-roots level, in which a key role is played by women recruited from the local population and trained to serve as village family welfare workers. Substantial progress has been made although much longer than the project's planned duration of three and a half years would probably be required for the gains made to be consolidated and the full potential realized.
