Abstract This paper presents a conceptual and methodological framework developed by an interdisciplinary group of researchers to diagnose reproductive morbidity at the community level. The paper also presents a determinants structure that delineates the health and social factors hypothesized to influence reproductive morbidity. The high prevalence of reproductivemorbidity conditions revealed by implementation of the study framework in two villages of Giza in Egypt is reported. Based on this research experience and the process of presenting its results to the larger professional community, the paper discusses policy implications of the study in terms of reproductive-health services, education and training programs and research efforts for measurement of reproductive ill-health at a community setting. - no
