Abstract
In 1968 at Chulalongkorn Hospital in Bangkok Thailand 695 IUD acceptors were given special service cards that would enable women who returned them to be given free preferential treatment at the clinic. The purpose of the study was to ascertain the effects that acceptors can have on promoting family planning to other women. 26% of the women had 1 or more of their cards returned. There was a 28% increase in insertions in the experimental provinces compared to 6% in the controls. The only suggested differences found among women whose cards were returned and those whose were not returned was that the former group contained a higher proportion of women with no education. Because of the success of this study 3 special service cards are presently given out at the hospital to new family planning acceptors.
