MEETING
Regional Workshop on Using the Findings from Operations Research to Increase the Access, Quality, and Integration of Contraceptive Services in Latin America and the Caribbean
La Antigua, Guatemala, 8–11 October 2007

The Frontiers in Reproductive Health program (FRONTIERS) held a three-day regional workshop in La Antigua, Guatemala, to disseminate results of nine years of operations research that documented and tested strategies to increase the access, quality, and integration of contraceptive services in large service-delivery organizations in Latin America and the Caribbean. The workshop was attended by 60 participants from 11 countries: Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, and the United States.

During the workshop, participants learned about contraceptive technology updates, results-based interventions to increase access to the IUD and vasectomy, and evidence of the need to integrate family planning with other reproductive health services, among others.  The presentations, agenda, and materials distributed during the workshop are available in Spanish.
