Family planning benefits the health and well-being of women and families throughout the
world. Using contraception can help to avoid unwanted pregnancies and space births;
protect against STDs, including HIV/AIDS; and provide other health benefits.
Need to know how a method works? Who can use it? ReproLine has
information on each commonly available method of contraception. Sets of graphics provide
presentations on each method that you can use as-is or edit to fit your needs.
Presentations cover basic information on the method and some contain more detailed
information as well.
What’s new in contraception? What new methods are on the horizon? Contraceptive
advances provides short articles and presentation graphics on what is up-and-coming in
contraceptive research.
Women seeking family planning services sometimes have existing
conditions or medical problems that require special attention, and some groups of women
(adolescents, women over 35) have special needs. Unfortunately, many guidelines do not
provide information on how best to meet such needs. ReproLine provides written
descriptions as well as presentation graphics about providing services to these women.
Integrating reproductive health services into existing family planning programs has
been the focus of recent efforts to improve services for women and families. The documents
in this section of ReproLine provide information on the key RH services that JHPIEGO is
incorporating into family planning services.
