By the end of 1993, the health status diagnoses of 46 sectors receiving medical attention from family physicians and nurses were discussed with the population from the health area of the "26 de Julio" Community Teaching Polyclinic, Havana City. Health problems were identified with the help of formal and informal leaders from each sector. Later on, these leaders made decisions by determining the priorities of such problems. Hanlon's method was used, and the respective plans of action were designed. Results were obtained and conclusions applicable to the health area were reached by means of a computer programme.
