Contraceptive method mix menu: providing healthy choices for women.

Abstract

This article addresses expansion of the contraceptive method mix, in the specific context of underserved women in developing countries who, like all women, expect to maintain their health status while successfully regulating their fertility. It is a critical review of the health implications of the contraceptive methods most commonly included on a menu of options and includes fertility awareness methods as essential non-supply method options where barriers currently exist for supply methods.
