Exit interviewsw ith clients identifiedt he sociodemographiacn d geographicc haracteristics of clinic users. The results show that the clinics contributed to a 5 percent increase in overall knowledge offamily planning methods and an increase in knowledge of female sterilization and the IUD of 15 percent and 7 percent, respectively. Distinct effects were found on contraceptive uptake, including an 8 percent increase in female sterilization and a 7 percent decline in condom use.
