E Shuenyane, and L D Saunders, and S Mashigo, and C Eyberg, and E U Rosen, and J M Pettifor

Demographic data regarding households in a Black rural community in the Eastern Transvaal were collected. Detailed socio-economic and health data were collected from a 10% random sample of households (response rate 92,5%). These data will be used for planning and evaluating a community health project. An extremely high infant mortality rate (198,1/1 000 live births), very low household incomes (median monetary household income R20 - R50 per month), low rates of immunization (39,4% of children under 12 years old had not been immunized), and gaps between the knowledge and practice of and the expressed desire for family planning were striking features.
