A major goal of community-based contraceptive delivery systems is to increase contracep tive prevalence among eligible women. This goal may be accomplished b y either recruiting more acceptors, increasing the duration of contraceptive use, or some combination of both. After a brief discussion of Indonesia's family planning program, evidence is pro vided that its village-based system is more successful than its clinic-based system in stimu lating women to use contraception longer. The case is especially true when comparing the effects of contraceptive resupply in the village versus that in the clinic. Furthermore, the advantage of the village becomes stronger after instituting controls for other factors which could influence contraceptive motivation.
