RESUMEN
To determine the cost-effectiveness of seven contraceptive methods from the providers' perspective, the cost per adjusted couple-years of protection [ACYP] was calculated for each method based on region-specific conversion factors. More than 74,800 ACYPs were provided during March 1999 to February 2000. Intrauterine devices and implants offered the highest and lowest ACYP respectively. Condom was the single most expensive contraceptive method. Vasectomy was the most cost-effective method and implant provided the highest cost per ACYP

In order to improve the effectiveness and subtainability of the family planning programme, the National Family Planning Board has devised a strategy to shift users to longer-acting methods and increase the role of the private sector. To design interventions, a better understanding of existing services was thought to be necessary. This study examines the distribution of family planning service delivery points in Jamaica and the services offered by the public and private sectors through an examination of records and questionnaire interviews. The study found that, because of the concentration of private sector providers - the main outlets for longer-acting methods - in urban areas, rural areas had poor access to these methods. Because rural areas are not attractive to private sector providers, the public sector should recognize the need to continue to serve these areas
