Job Aids for Reinjection of DMPA and NET-EN

February 8, 2010

Family Health International (FHI) and IntraHealth International have field tested and co-branded several job aids designed to help health care providers better serve women who return for reinjections of the contraceptives depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) and norethisterone enantate (NET-EN). Research that FHI conducted in South Africa, with support from the U.S. Agency for International Development, revealed that approximately half of injectable users were late for their reinjections, and a substantial portion of those who arrived within the approved grace period were denied a reinjection.
