- Family planning impact evaluation: the evolution of techniques Albert I. Hermalin Salud This paper is a slightly revised version of a paper prepared for the seminar on methods forimpact evaluation of family planning programs held in Jaco, Costa Rica, May 14-16,1997. The seminar was sponsored by the International Union for the Scientific Study ofPopulation (IUSSP), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID),the Carolina Population Center of the University of North Carolina, and the CentralAmerican Population Program of the University of Costa Rica.The goal of the seminar was to look at current methodological problems facing carefulevaluation of the impact of programs, to examine some of the new methods that havebeen developed to address persistent issues, and to assess the methodological challengesposed by the expanded goals of many programs following the 1994 Cairo InternationalConference on Population and Development.This paper was designed to serve as the background to discussions of currentmethodologies and issues by tracing the development and nature of methods for assessingimpact that started soon after the first programs were initiated in the 1950s. Thetechniques discussed include standardization and trend analysis, the analyses of acceptordata, experimental designs, multivariate areal analysis, population-based surveys, andmultilevel strategies.The intent of the program sponsors and coordinators was to publish the collected papersbut various contingencies intervened to make this infeasible. A description of the seminarand many of the papers are maintained on the University of Costa Rica website:http://ccp.ucr.ac.cr/noticias/plani/iusspi.htm.
