            <title>Training and Reference Guides for Family Planning Screening Checklists</title>
            <link>http://www.fhi.org/en/RH/Pubs/servdelivery/checklists/Guides.htm</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Family Health International (FHI) is pleased to announce the release of a series of four new Training and Reference Guides for Family Planning Screening Checklists. The Guides are available in French and English.

Designed for use by program managers, administrators, trainers, and service providers, the Training and Reference Guides accompany FHI’s checklists for screening women who wish to initiate use of combined oral contraceptives (COCs), injectables (DMPA and NET-EN), and the copper intrauterine device (IUD). A fourth checklist, entitled How to be Reasonable Sure a Client is not Pregnant, enables providers to rule out pregnancy among nonmenstruating women seeking to initiate the contraceptive method of their choice at the time of their visit. The checklists are available in various languages and may be accessed at:

http://www.fhi.org/en/RH/Pubs/servdelivery/checklists/index.htm

Both the checklists and the guides are based on the most recent recommendations for contraceptive use published by the World Health Organization in Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use (WHO 2004), as well as on criteria established by WHO to identify situations that effectively prevent a woman from getting pregnant.

The new guides are designed to serve as both training and reference tools. Each guide provides a four-to-six-hour curriculum for training service providers to use the related checklist and a CD-ROM containing key resources needed during the training. Each guide also includes a collection of essential, up-to-date reference materials on the validity, effectiveness and use of the checklist, recommendations on adapting the checklist to the local context, basic evidence-based information on the family planning method in question, and an annotated bibliography.

Printed copies of the Training and Reference Guides are available at no cost to organizations and libraries in developing countries. Electronic copies are available for download by US and European requestors. To request printed copies, please email your request to publications@fhi.org.]]></description>

            <title>Provision of Injectable Contraception Services through Community-Based Distribution: ...</title>
            <link>http://www.fhi.org/en/RH/Pubs/booksReports/CBD_DMPA_imp.htm</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Family Health International is pleased to announce the publication of this new guide, produced with support from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and in collaboration with Save the Children USA.

This step-by-step guide explains how to introduce injectable contraceptives — such as Depo Provera (or DMPA) — into an existing community-based distribution (CBD) program.

Based on the experience of two recent pilot projects supported by USAID in Uganda and Madagascar, the Implementation Handbook introduces a nine-step process and provides some helpful tools for the CBD of injectables.

Program managers, policy-makers, and others interested in providing greater access to family planning will appreciate the practical guidance offered by this handbook.

Given the popularity of injectables among women in many countries, CBD is a strategy that can facilitate access, increase continuity of use, strengthen user satisfaction, and ease client flow at the health centers. It is an appropriate approach in resource-constrained settings.

            <title>Comparing Effectiveness of Family Planning Methods</title>
            <link>http://www.fhi.org/en/RH/Pubs/servdelivery/index.htm#cec</link>
            <description><![CDATA[In order to make informed contraceptive choices, clients require an accurate understanding of pregnancy risks. As a result of an earlier USAID-supported study by FHI showing that a simplified counseling chart can improve women's understanding of contraceptive effectiveness better than more complex tools can, a panel composed of the World Health Organization, USAID, the INFO Project at JHU/CCP, EngenderHealth, FHI, and other experts drafted this simplified chart, which presents contraceptive methods on a continuum of effectiveness. The contraceptive effectiveness chart is available on the FHI website in English, Spanish, and French and also appears on the back of The Global Handbook for Family Planning Providers, published in 2007 by the WHO, USAID and the Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health, and was used in the 19th edition of Contraceptive Technology.

To order a print copy of the chart (laminated, 8.5 x 11 in.), please send an email to publications@fhi.org.]]></description>

            <title>Long-Acting and Permanent Methods: Addressing Unmet Need for Family Planning in Africa</title>
            <link>http://www.fhi.org/en/RH/Pubs/servdelivery/LAPM/index.htm</link>
            <description><![CDATA[This new evidence-based advocacy package produced by Family Health International can help inform policy-makers, program managers, and donors on the benefits of and approaches for introducing or revitalizing long-acting and permanent methods (LAPMs) within national reproductive health and family planning programs in Africa.

Despite their many advantages, LAPMs are the least accessible and least used methods of family planning in sub-Saharan Africa. This class of modern contraceptive methods is comprised of four highly effective methods for delaying, spacing, or limiting births: the intrauterine device (IUD), contraceptive implants, vasectomy, and female sterilization.

The advocacy package contains eight briefs. These briefs describe the current status of family planning in Africa, including evidence that suggests a substantial unmet need for LAPMs in the region. They address the unique advantages of LAPMs and benefits to individuals, couples and national programs. They also provide examples of several pilot and national efforts that have incorporated both traditional and innovative approaches to improve and expand LAPM provision. Four method-specific briefs are also included.]]></description>
