FRONTIERS PROJECT
Use of Systematic Screening to Provide Reproductive Health
Services in Bolivia
FRONTIERS worked with the Comprehensive Health Project (known by its Spanish acronym PROSIN) to assess the effect of systematic screening on the number of services received by reproductive health clients during and 30 days following consultations, as well as the number of referrals provided. Following the intervention, 9 percent more services were provided than at baseline. Provider compliance was the main constraint. Less than half of clients were screened; but those who received screening obtained 25 percent more services than those who were not screened.
