Data collection in the Philippines was part of a larger study on ldquoThe Impact of Preventive Medical and Family Planning Services Utilizing Sub-Professional Personnelrdquo performed by the junior author from 1975 to 1977 for the Research Institute for the Study of Man. Additional funding came from National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Grant HD-10802-01 to the senior author and from an ICARP grant to the junior author through the Population Commission of the Philippines. The authors gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Alice Brown, Susan Kegeles, Karen Porter, and Robert Quinn. The manuscript benefited from critical comments by Lou McClelland and two anonymous reviewers. An earlier version of this paper was presented at the 85th Convention of the American Psychological Association, San Francisco, California, August 1977.
