[e-drug] cost comparisons injectable contraceptives

E-DRUG: cost comparisons injectable contraceptives
------------------------------------------------------------------
[crossposted from DRUGINFO with thanks. NN]

Hi all

This message has a two-fold purpose - the first is to alert druginfo
readers to a recently published paper that considers the costs of
EDL choices in respect of injectable contraceptives (Counting the
costs: comparing depot medroxyprogesterone acetate and
norethisterone oenanthate utilisation patterns in South Africa. Smit
JA, Gray AL, McFadyen ML, Zuma K. BMC Health Services
Research (2001) 1:4 (04 Jun 2001)). The full article is available at
http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6963/1/4/

That's the second point - BioMedCentral is a new, peer-reviewed
collection of electronic-only journals, on a wide range of biological
and medical topics. It also offers a number of useful features, eg
direct links to PubMed abstracts. Worth a look.

The abstract from our paper is appended below.
