Family Planning and Reproductive Health Module: Counselling Steps, Contraceptive Technology and Side-Effect Management

Module thirty of a family planning and reproductive health course, opening with the concepts and definitions of family planning, the health and development benefits and the population growth argument, then the counselling process with its GATHER and REDI steps, the active-listening behaviours and the open-ended questions. Contraceptive technology is taken method by method - the combined and progestin-only pills and injectables, implants, intrauterine devices and barrier methods - each with its mode of action, indications, dosage and guidelines, benefits, side effects and their management from dizziness, depression and amenorrhoea to headaches, acne and lower abdominal pain, and the factors and barriers that determine uptake.
