37. Khalaf, F. Evaluation of the Program for Selection of High Risk Children and Pregnant Women in Five UNRWA Clinics in the West Bank. MSc Dissertation, Institute of Child Health, University of London, 1985, 5 pp.

An evaluation of "at-risk" selection procedures in five West Bank refugee camps was conducted. Main causes of referral were failure to gain weight, diarrhea and low birth weight. All referrals were from UNRWA clinics, 81% by the staff nurse. The report examines the referral process and makes a series of recommendations including: continuing in service training including physicians, improved home visiting programs, more breast feeding promotion, review of the UNRWA policy of giving powdered milk at 6 months or below, development of low birth weight prevention programs, creation of a referral system for high risk pregnant women for consultation with obstetricians and introduction of a family planning policy.
