In this study, we conducted the application of maternal and child health handbook to the mothers' schools, the application of maternal and child health handbook to the health volunteers' activities, the production of IEC materials and their showing on the street (TV99), the health education activities of puppet show by the general people (Teatro99), the evaluation trials by the retrospective application of Precede-proceed model to these activities, and the survey of the education level of the parents and the acceptance of family planning concepts in the Under-five Clinic. As a result, we find that the maternal and child health handbook is very effective as a means of health education in the general population, that the retrospective application of the Precede-proceed model is very useful even if it was not applied in advance, that TV99 and Teatro99 are very effective means of the general health education, especially in case of the puppet show by the people who selected the theme, wrote the scenario, produced the dolls and presented the show and in case of the health education through the children to their parents, and that there is a close relationship between education level of the parents and the acceptance of family planning concepts.
