title: Supervising Community health Workers in Community-Based Delivery of Primary Health/Family Planning Services: Experiences in Mexico, 1977-1982.
abstract: The supervision of CHWs in the Mexican Rural Health Program (1977-82) illustrates a wide range of problems and strengths because it was developed within a program based on a strong political mandate to deliver services to an extremely large, as well as culturally and geographically diverse population. This article presents an in-depth perspective on the issues involved in the supervision of community health workers with a focus on the myriad roles and responsibilities which are expected from supervisory personnel. The information and observations which are offered come from program evaluation materials as well as the long-term, first hand experience of the authors with the program discussed.
