Dr. Jim Shelton's Pearls

"Pearl" for the week of April 17, 2006

IUD Best Practice Tools

Q:We are very interested in improving our ability to provide IUDs in our program. Can you please point me to a source of authoritative information on IUDs including programmatic considerations?

A:Definitely. Experts from various organizations that collaborate with USAID under its Maximizing Access and Quality (MAQ) initiative, have developed an online IUD "Toolkit" of programmatic information and other tools to help with IUD service delivery. The URL is http://www.iudtoolkit.org.

Some of the tools were already existing and just included, and some were created specifically for the toolkit.

Major categories (tabs) in the tool kit are:

Overview Documents
Essential Knowledge
Policies and Guidelines
Service Delivery
Training
Logistics
Marketing and Communication
Country Experiences
Tools



The "Pearls" offer answers to commonly asked questions about family planning. These "Pearls" are prepared by Dr. James D. Shelton, Senior Medical Scientist, Office of Population, United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
