Contraceptive technology is an evolving, dynamic and ever-changing
subject. To offer high-quality services and care, policy-makers,
administrators and providers of contraceptive services need
to remain abreast of current information and practices. Unfortunately,
there exists a significant gap between knowledge gained through
research and the application of those findings in everyday practice.
The purpose of this module is to help close that gap by providing
current information to policy-makers, managers and health-care
providers. The module provides a core of information that can
be adapted as needed for various audiences.
The learning objectives for this module will be different depending
on the methodological approach chosen for your audience.
