Increasing Access to and Quality and Integration of Contraceptive Services in Latin America and the Caribbean: Findings from Operations Research

Council researchers in Latin America and the Caribbean conducted a workshop to disseminate findings from reproductive health research in the region.

This dissemination project consisted of an international workshop, held in Guatemala, to examine the findings from FRONTIERS research in Latin America and the Caribbean. Topics covered included use of the intrauterine device, vasectomy, postpartum and postabortion care contraception, integrating family planning into programs for preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV, and improving access to and the quality of family planning services through systematic screening and counseling.
