If family planning is to progress Iran and Turkey will have to embark upon total societal modernization including changes in economic demographic and attitudinal characteristics. Backward ideology regarding women has created a low output of female nurses and physicians. Both countries are economically very underdeveloped with per capita income of $353 and $283 for Turkey and Iran respectively. Both countries lack adequate systems of national vital statistics registration to show fertility changes. An annual growth rate of 3.0% for Iran and 2.7% for Turkey has been indicated. Both countries are aware of the socioeconomic problems of rapid population growth. In 1964 the National Family Program was established in Turkey and in 1967 for Iran. In Iran the goal is to have 500000 acceptors of family planning by 1972; in Turkey family planning was to be available to 2 million women by 1972. The program is located within the Ministry of Health for both countries. Although fixed family planning clinics have been established in 67 provinces of Turkey mobile units are heavily relied upon. Iran has established 397 family planning clinics. The Family Planning Association of Iran was registered with the International Planned Parenthood Federation in 1969 1963 for Turkey. In Turkey family planning was based upon IUDs but the pill was used in Iran. Both Iran and Turkey have a postpartum program limited to the main hospital in their capitals (40000 patients for Iran 12000 for Turkey). In Iran 81% postpartum used pills 20% for Turkey. 75% selected the IUD in Turkey. Both countries have developed short courses in family planning.

IN response to the increased public awareness of German measles and the introduction of an effective vaccine, the Chicago Board of Health in April 1970 implemented a program of continuing serologic surveillance of a premarital female population whose serum samples are submitted for the routine VDRL test for syphilis. The decision to initiate this program was determined after the statistically significant results of a survey of rubella antibody titers in women planning to be married, men, and children of both sexes were evaluated.

RISK characteristics often vary appreciably from one clinic population to another so that comparison of the effectiveness of a health program among these populations is difficult. Failure to take such differences into consideration can lead to serious errors in the interpretation of patients' performance. Although a health program would be expected to affect the measures of outcome which reflect patients' performance, there are usually other factors asscc1ated with populations of patients which also alter outcome. We shall refer to these concomitant sources of outcome variability as risk factors. A statistical treatment of outcome data which will account for the risk factors is highly desirable. Several techniques may be used to adjust for the risk factors. A sophisticated statistical procedure, such as analysis of covariance, is sometimes used for this purpose. By analysis of covariance, one can isolate and measure the effect of each possible source of outcome variability which is identified. Although this method is a powerful means of controlling for the concomitant variables, it has the disadvantage of being computationally complex (usually requiring a computer) and is dependent on the specification of an appropriate mathematical model. A rigorous discussion of analysis of covariance is given by Cochran (I) . Alternatively, an intuitive method is often applied, in which the groups to be compared are stratified according to the concomitant variables and comparisons are made only within similar strata.
