Summary: This issue of INFO Reports focuses on the new guidance from the World Health Organization's 2004 Selected Practice Recommendations for Contraceptive Use likely to have the greatest impact on service delivery. It also summarizes the other new recommendations, which pertain to the hormonal levonorgestrel-releasing IUD. The Selected Practice Recommendations offer advice on how family planning clients can best use their contraceptive methods to protect against pregnancy, as well as on how to manage side effects or other problems during contraceptive use.
