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. This listing from our book, Contraceptive Technology, presents some selected reproductive health resources developed by the authors of Contraceptive Technology and resources that colleagues have brought to our attention. The list is not complete, so if you have suggestions for future editions, please contact us.
