ABSTRACT

The World Health Organization's (WHO) Department of Reproductive Health and Research (RHR), in collaboration

with numerous international partners, has led the way in creating global guidance for family planning that is science

based and consensus driven. By the end of 2006, RHR will have completed WHO's Four Cornerstones for Evidence-

Based Guidance for Family Planning. The four cornerstones include the Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive

Use, the Selected Practice Recommendations for Contraceptive Use, the Decision-Making Tool for Family Planning

Clients and Providers and the Handbook for Family Planning Providers. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT1T 49-
