[Full Text: , 31 p., 230 kb]

Summary: The purpose of this case study was to identify the reasons for the low use of the IUD in Guatemala and to explore the reasons why other reversible methods are selected more frequently than IUDs. The study aimed to determine the availability and acceptability of IUDs as a contraceptive option within the Ministry of Health (MSPAS), the Guatemalan Social Security Institute (IGSS), and APROFAM.
