As a result, policies may need periodic revision to achieve the desired outcomes. Over the last two decades, the government of Peru has instituted a series of laws and policies designed to enhance access to family planning services and commodities. In practice, these policies have not always had their desired effect. This paper examines the policies Peru's Ministry of Health has developed and implemented to promote access to family planning for all, and how those policies have affected contraceptive prevalence, method mix and source mix.

The most frequently used method in the country has been female sterilization, used by 11% of these women in 1987 and by 17% in 2002. In contrast, fewer than 1% of women reported that their partner had received a vasectomy.1,2 From a public health perspective, it would be desirable for a greater proportion of couples to adopt vasectomy rather than female sterilization. Vasectomy has a lower rate of postoperative complications than female sterilization, and the client's recovery time is shorter; it is also a less expensive procedure for the providing institution.

If one were to learn about human sexuality by reading family planning research and program manuals, she suggested, one would have no idea that sex leads to great enjoyment-as well as pain-for human beings. She called for a more gender-sensitive approach to sexuality in research and programming, including greater attention to the ways in which women want to maximize sexual enjoyment and minimize sexual harm, and to how these desires influence their reproductive health behaviors. Such an approach-which Dixon-Mueller called establishing the "sexuality connecti...

We have learned that most women around the world cannot control male condom use, and we have begun to understand that women's attitudes toward and use of protective methods are based on personal, relational, sociocultural and structural factors, with a different mix for each woman.

Rising educational attainment among women may lead to an increase in the demand for abortion. PMID: 17015241 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Int Fam Plan Perspec...)

Programs should identify and target high-risk subgroups, such as those who are sexually experienced at an early age and those engaged in patterns of generalized risk-taking.

Comprehensive government programs are needed to address the issues of unintended pregnancy and unsafe abortion, with attention to regional differences.

Programs designed to raise contraceptive awareness and use should target recent migrants-particularly indigenous Mayans-in urban areas.

Additionally, family planning facilities may be able to increase clients' contraceptive use by providing diversity in method choice, keeping offered methods in stock, displaying informational materials, and raising staff levels.

In some countries, delaying age at marriage may be an important strategy; in others, making intercourse within marriage safer may be more valuable.

However, programs offering these methods may help couples overcome potential difficulties in correct method use by including male partners and encouraging their participation in counseling sessions.
