FRONTIERS PROJECT
From the Home to the Clinic: A New Reproductive Health Service Delivery Model for Bangladesh

With support from FRONTIERS, researchers from John Snow, Inc. (JSI) studied the results of a shift from home-based reproductive health care (provided by community health workers) to care in public and nongovernmental clinics. Results show that women are motivated to use family planning but need more information about new services. Women recognize and appreciate quality of care, particularly interaction with providers.
