Definition and measurement of reproductive health
Publisher(s):Abstract: "An internationally agreed conceptual definition of reproductive health is applied to the development and testing of practical indicators for use in the community. Basic criteria are proposed for an interview-based tool to measure reproductive health Ñ as opposed to morbidity or mortality Ñ adapting methods from the health status measurement field.
