The goal of this study is to identify factors which may be preventing use of an experimental health care program in the People's Republic of Benin. While previous surveys have focused more specifically on the impact of fees on use and demand, our aim to identify a wider range of factors. / There are two principle methods by which this can be done. One is to extract possible factors from a review of the relevant literature. The other is to carry out an exploratory, qualitative study in the field. We have used both these methods. / A qualitative study is a necessary prelude to a survey, since we initially have no specific idea about which factors to measure and investigate. The aim is to identify factors which may be relevant so that a subsequent survey, with a larger number of cases, could quantify and measure their influence and statistical significance.
