DMPA-SC Evidence to Practice reports, resources, and references
The DMPA-SC Evidence to Practice workshops in 2018 and 2019 have gathered together family planning experts, including ministry officials, partners, and donors from more than 20 countries.
Meeting participants met to develop country strategies for increasing voluntary access to subcutaneous DMPA (DMPA-SC)* within a wide range of contraceptive methods and to inform related policy decisions with current evidence. The reports and resources below summarize the plenaries, presentations, and discussions held to inform country planning.
