Rennie M D'Souza and John H Bryant

Abstract

Maternal autonomy, appropriate health seeking behaviour and child-rearing practices identified in this study clearly indicate the need for intervention strategies that go beyond the usual primary health care initiatives and involve communities in developing social support systems for mothers. These have important implications for evolving global health policies relating to primary health care and health care reform.
