The purpose of this study was to strengthen community strategies to improve quality of care services first implemented as part of a Ministry of Health and Prevention (MSPS) and World Health Organization (WHO) project in 1997-98. That intervention focused on health facilities and the accompanying community interventions were found to be insufficient. Groups that do not regularly attend health facilities such as adolescents men and women with older or no children remained out of reach. To reach these target audiences and improve community demand for services CIDEM implemented a community education intervention focusing on sexual and reproductive health and rights. Research was carried out in public health centers of urban and marginalized rural areas in La Paz. (excerpt)
