Abstract:
The syllabus and schedule are presented for the June 3 to 28, 1985 workshop sponsored by the Center for Population and Family Health (CPFH) at Columbia University. Included are exercises, readings, a final report on the 8 essential elements of primary health care (PHC), population reports, and a guide for teachers of PHC. A review of PHC is presented along with a discussion on program design, management, and evaluation. Needs and resource assessment are given in the context of quantitative and qualitative methods and focus group exercises. Work groups were formed to address issues through problem determination, defining objectives, strategizing, and evaluating criteria. A discussion on community-based maternity care includes a review of maternity care in industrialized versus nonindustrialized nations, manpower, special considerations of rural maternity care, home versus health center delivery including infant and maternal complications, and breastfeeding versus bottle feeding. Also highlighted are the various methods of community-based family planning, nutritional problems, and strategies for intervention. Legislation and policies are covered in terms of basic human rights and maternal and child health. The program closed with an emphasis on training programs, the use of information systems in evaluation and operations research, and program and implementation planning.
