A sampling study was conducted on 1512 pill acceptors from 36 clinics all over India during 1969-1970. There was a higher continuation rate when there was repeated contact with the clinic staff either at the clinic or through home visits. Women who lived closer to the clinic revisited more often than others. Socioeconomic factors and waiting time at the clinic were not related to revisiting frequency. Women with side effects from the pill, especially vaginal bleeding, revisited more frequently. 95% of the pill acceptors were satisfied with the time and attention given them at the clinic.
