Keeping current on reproductive health issues and finding answers to your and your patients’ questions are more easily accomplished if you have on hand an array of resources and materials. From our book, Contraceptive Technology, we share two widely requested materials—a chart showing contraceptive effectiveness categories and a table showing the percentage of pregnancies during the first year of perfect-use and typical-use contraceptives, based our current understanding of the literature on contraceptive efficacy.

Presented here are also some selected reproductive health resources that colleagues have brought to our attention. The list is not complete, so if you have suggestions for future editions, please contact us. Several organizations have a wealth of helpful and quality resources. Materials from Family Health International and any branch of the federal government are not copyrighted and may be reproduced.
