Contraceptive Choices

We are excited to share with you the success so many folks in the Family Planning community are having with the booklet CHOICES. We invite you to preview the booklet, take a look at what others are saying about it and consider it as a resource for patients and staff.

We have received large orders from:
State of West Virginia (10,000)  |  North Central Health District in Georgia (7,000)
State of Florida (5,000)  |  Perry Community School District in Iowa (500)    ... and many more!!

CHOICES covers all methods of contraception (including abstinence) giving the advantages and disadvantages of each with a great deal of emphasis on the LongActingReversibleCoontraceptives (LARC) or the "Get It and Forget It" methods which is the only way we are going to reduce unintended and teen pregnancies in this country.

You can have the front cover and the inside front cover personalized to your own message by ordering a minimum quaintly of 10,000 copies. Let's get serious about changing the fact that for the last 50 years unintended pregnancies in the USA goes unchanged at about 50%!

Take a look at the enclosed reviews and if you would like to speak with any of the current users we will be glad to help you get connected with them.

An email blast recommending CHOICES has gone out to all the counties from the state level in North Carolina and Ohio.

Last year, I used CHOICES as the primary resource for teaching contraception to 9th and 10th graders (14-17 years old). CHOICES is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to help others become more informed about reproductive health or learn more themselves. The easy to follow layout allows it to be used as a quick reference guide by students or patients; the breadth and depth of information makes it a comprehensive stand-alone resource for teaching about contraceptive choices in any academic setting. Parents will appreciate the excellent diagrams and straightforward information when looking for ways to start conversations with their teens.

Finally! What we need for EVERY North Carolina health district.A comprehensive text regarding EVERY method of contraception in an easily readable and presentable form, CHOICES, from Dr. Robert Hatcher. I have personally reviewed CHOICES and view it as an OUTSTANDING tool to educate and inform both our Family Planning staffs in North Carolina as well as our patients. CHOICES covers every method of birth control, including dual methods and even abstinence. Keeping up to date with current LARC methods is a priority for us in the Family Planning field and this text (in a magazine-like format) even provides an exceptional illustration of the female physiology.

At present I use CHOICES to meet Title X requirements to provide review of all BCMs. On occasion I will provide them to our pregnant clients for preparation and guidance in future Fp options.

  The advantages and disadvantages helped me weigh and compare all sides of each contraceptive.

  - Kapila

  
  
  The information on male condoms and IUD's were definitely the most thorough and informative.

  - Alex

  
  
  I found the variety of statistics informative, especially the failure rates. It was helpful to be able to contrast advantages and disadvantages.

  - Natalie

  
  
  I thought that the chart with the lists of pros and cons for each contraceptive was very helpful and I learned a lot.

  - Kayleen

  
  
  I thought that the back panel with the main points and cost really helped so I could compare them next each other.

  The advantages/disadvantages sections are very clear and helpful. Overall the design/outline is very good and well organized making it easy to read and understand.
