In the 1972-74 Isfahan Model Family Planning Project, which grew out of previous family planning projects in Isfahan, contraceptive education and services were provided by private doctors, family planning clinics, health centers, nurses, midwives, full-time field-workers, functionaries, and the mass media on a comprehensive and integrated basis. The percent of married women aged 15-44 using modern methods rose from 6 percent to 21 percent by the end of the project period. Continuation rates for the pill and IUD were comparable to those in other, more urban programs. Field-workers proved to be more effective in recruiting new acceptors than health workers and functionaries; mass media and relatives played indirect roles.

Alzheimer's disease significantly impacts decision-making abilities, potentially increasing risk-taking behaviors and complicating the process of aging-in-place, particularly in cases of anosognosia (self-awareness impairment). To understand how this affects patient and caregiver perspectives, we conducted a qualitative study to identify arguments used by older patients with Alzheimer's disease and their family caregivers about aging-in-place. We included 18 dyads, each comprising an older adult living at home with mild dementia and their family caregiver.
