Traditional Practitioners as Primary Health Care Workers
(1995; 146 pages)

Abstract

This study evaluated the effectiveness of four projects where traditional practitioners were being trained to provide various primary health care services to communities. The projects were based in Ghana, Mexico, and Bangladesh. The objectives were to evaluate the impact the projects had upon the communities they served, to determine which materials and training approaches were most effective, and to develop training guidelines to assist others in replicating similar projects.
