Interns are being used in two experimental health education projects in a rural area of India. In one, the interns talk to mothers waiting for their children at an immunization clinic; in the other they train volunteer school children to act as school health guides in a child-to-child programme. Since neither experiment requires large additional inputs and as both are being conducted within the established infrastructure of the intern training programme, they will probably continue as essential components of it. Methodological improvements can be expected to occur as the experiments proceed.
