| Abstract: | The author discusses reasons why family planning centers should be located in factories and reports his experience in attempting to organize such centers. He feels that most needed services that these centers should provide are education and counseling, not simply contraception. He believes that the majority of women could be reached in their place of work in a manner cost-effective for businesses. Persons such as adolescents and immigrants are not likely to patronize family planning clinics in maternity hospitals in the suburbs or in villages where they are known. The author attended a meeting of the Superior Council of Sex Information devoted to founding family planning clinics in factories. He suggested sending proposals to the boards of directors of businesses employing large numbers of women. In Lille counseling centers have been instituted in several factories with excellent results. |
