Effects of IGSS' Job Aids-Assisted Balanced Counseling Algorithms on Quality of Care and Client Outcomes

The Guatemalan Institute of Social Security (IGSS) offers family planning services to its affiliates in connection with obstetric events. It does so through 12 hospitals and 25 outpatient clinics in departments throughout Guatemala. While the IGSS only contributes 4.6 percent of the national prevalence of modern methods, it accounts for 20.8 percent of new DMPA users and 20.7 percent of new IUD users in the general Guatemalan population.
