Synopsis

This book investigates visit continuation rates in family planning to assess their effectiveness as a management tool for family planning administrators. The authors argue that while time survival rates are commonly applied to measure contraceptive methods and program evaluation, visit continuation rates furnish more useful data for administrators tasked with the day-to-day functions of a family planning program. Several dimensions are investigated to better understand how visit continuation rates can be segmented, including method of contraception, number of visits made by the patient, agency providing service, race, parity level, and whether patients become pregnant while in the system. Inter-visit times are also studied to gain a more comprehensive understanding of patient behaviour. The authors conclude that visit continuation rates, when paired with inter-visit time, can aid administrators in forecasting demand, evaluating program changes, allocating follow-up effort, and making policy decisions. The insights offered in this book suggest that visit continuation rates are a valuable tool for effective family planning program management.
