The Provision of Natural Family Planning Services at Public Health Centers in Colombia

The authors report the results of a two-year project to increase the use of natural family planning (NFP) methods in Colombia through the development of a community outreach program for the provision of NFP methods through public health facilities. "NFP use increased in both groups in which an effort was made to include this method in family planning services though the total prevalence of NFP at the end of the study was less than two percent of couples in each group."
