A community trial was conducted in rural Gambia in order to determine whether a community-based intervention designed to mobilize latent demand for contraception would increase use of modern contraceptives, even in the absence of improved availability of family planning services. Analysis of trial data indicates that the demand-mobilization intervention had a statistically significant positive effect on nonusers' adoption of modern contraception and that coterminous implementation of an intervention designed to improve access to services offered no additional benefit. The program component found to have the greatest impact was the "kabilo approach," in which village women provide basic health and family planning counseling to other women in their extended families. These results suggest that the principal barriers to increased contraceptive use in rural Gambia are psychosocial and that these barriers can be overcome through village-based interventions designed to provide socially appropriate counseling to potential contraceptive users.
