Postpartum Family Planning (PPFP)

MCHIP-FP, in an effort to promote documented best practices, has supported the development of this annotated bibliography of postpartum family planning literature to serve as reference for both researchers and program managers.

In an effort to promote documented best practices, the MIYCN-FP Technical Working Group has supported the development of this annotated bibliography of Maternal, Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN) and Family Planning(FP) Integration to serve as reference for both researchers and program managers. The purpose of this bibliography is to provide a brief, illustrative sample of documents describing the basic elements of MIYCN-FP integration. The documents listed here provide an overview of the rationale for integrated MIYCN-FP programs.

To further understanding on PPIUDs, MCHIP explored journal articles published from 2000 to the present June 2011. The literature review began by searching on Medline, key words, postpartum IUD. The search was focused on Cooper T 380 A intrauterine devices, although a few studies included Mirena IUDS. MCHIP asked experts in the field for contributions.
