| Abstract: | We did a cross-sectional survey of official health agencies in Ontario in 1990 to assess methods of providing postnatal services. The response rate was 78.6%. We found that diverse methods of postnatal follow-up are offered although home visits remain a primary mode of service delivery. There are significant differences in the timing of home and telephone visits and postnatal group sessions. |
