Abstract: Graduate Turkish midwives were trained in triage rules for determining family planning home visit frequency based on risk of couples. In a sample of 542 couples followed for six months, modern contraceptive use increased 22% among high-risk and about 15% among moderate and low-risk couples. After making assumptions about the fecundity, contraceptive success, and pregnancy complications, the estimated average cost per complication averted was $ 61 for high-risk, $177 for moderate-risk, and $526 for low-risk couples.
