| This session presents the results of programs in Asia, Africa and Latin America which have tested and introduced new family planning methods and technologies; including DMPA, microbicides and fertility awareness based methods. The challenges of assessing the efficacy of coitus-dependent methods, overcoming provider bias and countering political opposition to new methods will be discussed. Lessons learned regarding successful introduction and scaling up through community, clinic-based and social marketing programs will be presented. | |||
| Learning Objectives: By the end of the session, participants will be able to: a) recognize the importance of introducing new contraceptive methods; b) discuss the acceptability, efficacy and continuation of these methods; c) identify challenges to assessing the efficacy of coitus-dependent methods; d) discuss programmatic implications of discontinuation and recommendations for maximizing correct use and continuation; and e) identify best practices for sustainable integration and expansion of new methods and technologies. | |||
