  • Reviving permanent contraception: New medical procedures or new service delivery modalities?

    2020, Best Practice and Research: Clinical Obstetrics and Gynaecology
    Citation Excerpt :

    Both supply-side and demand-side components functioning in an enabling environment for service delivery that ensures informed choice and respects rights [31], Fig. 1. In consequence, innovations should happen at all levels; encompassing not only the development of new occlusion technologies, but also the use of novel implementation processes that increase availability and access to family planning, including permanent methods [32]. Fostering an environment that enables the delivery of permanent contraception is a crucial element in any effort to increase access to family planning.

  • Male hormonal contraception: hope and promise

    2017, The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology
    Citation Excerpt :

    These desires are constrained by the need to space out and limit pregnancies according to personal and financial circumstances. Enabling men and women to share family planning responsibilities by increasing contraceptive choices would promote important, but still mostly unmet, individual and societal needs such as reducing overpopulation and the number of elective terminations for unplanned pregnancies.1 Promising candidate non-hormonal male-directed approaches have been identified,2,3 but clinical trials in human beings, which would be necessary for drug or device registration, have not been done (table 1).

  • Polidocanol induced tubal occlusion in nonhuman primates: immunohistochemical detection of collagen I-V

    2016, Contraception
    Citation Excerpt :

    There remains an unmet need for effective contraception worldwide. In developing countries, greater than 24% of married women wanting contraception lack modern methods [1]. A shift away from sterilization, the most effective method, toward reversible methods, appears to have contributed to increases in unintended pregnancies in countries with limited resources [2].

  • Acceptability of the nestorone®/ethinyl estradiol contraceptive vaginal ring: Development of a model; implications for introduction

    2014, Contraception
    Citation Excerpt :

    These design features suggest the NES/EE CVR can address common family planning access and service delivery issues that are especially pronounced in low resource settings. It has the potential to be an important new method in regions with a high unmet need for contraception [3–6]. Acceptability research, however, must be conducted to understand aspects of use affecting utilization and is an integral component of planning for introduction [7–11].
