I'm happy to share a new tool from Pathfinder International that may be of help to programs working in community- and facility-based contraceptive counseling and service provision: Cue Cards for Counseling Adults on Contraception: http://www.pathfinder.org/publications-tools/cue-cards-for-counseling-adults.html. The cue cards were developed to support a range of providers (such as facility-based providers, community health workers, pharmacists, outreach workers, counselors, and peer providers) in counseling adults on their contraceptive options. The cards can be adapted to meet local circumstances and contexts.
The cue cards cover the following methods:
* Implants
* Male Sterilization
* Female Sterilization
* Intrauterine Device (IUD)
* Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM)
* DMPA (injectables)
* Combined Oral Contraceptives (COCs)
* Progestin-Only Pills (POPs)
* Standard Days Method (SDM)
* Male Condom
* Female Condom
* Emergency Contraceptive Pills (ECPs)
A French version of the cards will be available in the coming months. I'd also like to remind you that programs targeting adolescents can use Pathfinder's Cue Cards for Counseling Adolescents on Contraception<http://www.pathfinder.org/publications-tools/cue-cards-for-counseling-adolescents-on-contraception.html> (available in English, French, and Portuguese).
Please share widely and feel free to email me with any questions.
Apologies for cross-posting!
Best,
