James F. Evans Collection, Participation in rural development programs that organize members into local cooperative groups can alter the decision-making environment facing couples to reflect some of the negative consequences of childbearing. This study uses data from Nepal, collected through a combination of ethnographic and survey methods, to test the effects of participation in such a development program on fertility behavior. Results demonstrate that program participants are much more likely to use contraceptives to limit their fertility than are non-participants. The study provides empirical support for theories linking this type of institutional change to fertility and indicates a policy option that can allow some negative consequences of childbearing to affect couples' fertility decisions.

James F. Evans Collection, This paper proposes that rural people can use a participatory rural newspaper as a rallying point for formal and informal discussions with development agents to improve their own life situation. The future of communication for development in the Third World lies in the shift from the use of big to small media like participatory rural newspaper. The micro model of communication for development presented here may be applied to other localized media instead of the participatory rural newspaper. But the adaption would require adjustments both in the theoretical as well as procedural approach to suit the particular mini medium. (original)
