Contraceptive Self-Care High Impact Practices brief

The ability of individuals to space, time, and limit pregnancies in alignment with their preferences, with or without the support of a healthcare provider

This Family Planning High Impact Practice brief outlines the principles and practices of contraceptive self-care: the ability of individuals to freely and effectively space their pregnancies, time their pregnancies, and prevent pregnancies in alignment with their fertility preferences, with or without the support of a healthcare provider. This is facilitated by the integration of contraceptive self-care interventions into policies, programs, and delivery channels across health systems including family planning and reproductive health.
