Expansion of postpartum / postabortion contraception in Honduras.

The objective of this program was to increase the accessibility to quality postpartum/postabortion contraceptive services and to decrease the unmet need for contraceptive methods during these periods. The results showed that the project was a success in terms of process variables such as provision of information and offering of services as well as in terms of the proportion of women who adopted a contraceptive method before discharge from the hospital and in the reduction of unmet need (as measured by the number of women who left the hospital without receiving the contraceptive method she wanted).
