In conclusion, injectables have characteristics that make them
a desirable method for many women:
- They are safe.
- They are as effective as sterilization.
- They are easy to use correctly.
- They can be delivered in nonclinical settings.
Appropriate counseling plays a key role in the provision of
injectable contraceptives. It is relatively simple to train
providers to administer injectables correctly. However, providers
also need to be trained to counsel clients about the characteristics
of each type of injectable contraceptive, with special attention
paid to side effects.
Family planning programs that offer injectable contraceptives
benefit their clients by increasing their options for contraception.
