Family Planning: A Global Handbook for Providers

[Full Text of IUD chapter only: Acrobat file, 26 p., 272 kb] or [Full Text of entire Handbook can be found on the INFOforhealth Web site]

Summary: This new handbook on family planning methods and related topics is the first of its kind: Through an organized, collaborative process, experts from around the world have come to consensus on practical guidance that reflects the best available scientific evidence. The World Health Organization (WHO) convened this process. Many major technical assistance and professional organizations have endorsed and adopted this guidance. This book serves as a quick-reference resource for all levels of health care workers. It is the successor to The Essentials of Contraceptive Technology, first published in 1997 by the Center for Communication Programs at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. This material can be used as a resource in work with individual clients and community groups, in training courses for health workers, and as a basis for the preparation of educational materials.
