title: The PROJUSE simulation model for determining family-planning objectives.
abstract: This is a report on a theoretical model called PROJUSE, which was designed "to determine whether the proposed reduction in the growth rate of the South African population is a viable proposition."  The model calculates the number of users of a family planning program needed to achieve certain population targets.  An example is demonstrated using the black population in South Africa.
