Cicatelli Associates, Inc. (CAI) will conduct a case study approach to explore the impact of increasing costs and other factors on the delivery of family planning and reproductive health services over a 5-10 year period. The project will work with a sample of Title X family planning grantees and provider agencies to conduct an in-depth review and analysis of purchasing records, clinic operations, and other records to extract information required to determine the effect that changing costs have had on the delivery of family planning services.
