 Lessons Learned and
      Program Implications

The question today is no longer whether to involve men, but rather how to involve them (61). How can reproductive health care providers best increase men's participation? How can programs communicate effectively with men? How can they reach more men and meet men's needs? How can programs encourage more men to care about reproductive health?

The number of reproductive health activities that address and include men has increased in the past several years (59, 98). The challenge for these expanding activities is to incorporate new perspectives on men's participation into the design and implementation of reproductive health communication and services.

Program experience with men's participation yields many lessons. Population Reports has identified nine major lessons that can help guide program managers and policy-makers. These lessons can be grouped as follows:
