Abstract: Outreach services are needed to interest some families in preventive health services for children. If children are not brought to health centers for these services, it may be reasonable to send a screening aide into the home. An earlier study showed that paraprofessional aides could gain acceptance into the home and could perform selected tests accurately. This paper reports the cost effectiveness of such a project.
