A general introduction will precede a short outline of "the state of the art" of each discipline. Some experiences with the implementation of peer review among speech-therapists and a proposal to integrate quality of care concepts in educational curricula, will conclude this review.

Recent changes in the sociodemographic profile of sterilization acceptors in Nepal.

The records of 8056 Nepalese males and 9291 females sterilized from 1979-1983 were analyzed. Compared with data from previous studies (1970-1976), significant decreases occurred in the average age of female acceptors (30.6 vs. 33.1, P less than 0.01) and wives of male acceptors (28.4 vs. 31.7, P less than 0.01). Also, the average number of living children per couple decreased by one child (4.9-3.9, P less than 0.01) for male acceptors and 0.6 (4.8-4.2, P less than 0.01) for female acceptors. Finally in 83.2% of the cases, the operation was performed within 3 years of the last delivery.
