ICEC has created a number of publications designed to address EC issues on every level of program management.

  • Resources for Programs includes materials for early stages of program planning, including guidelines for EC introduction programs, sample materials, and our widely distributed Medical and Service Delivery Guidelines (look for an update to the Guidelines in 2011!).

  • ICEC's Policy Statements are useful tools addressing EC access and can be used to inform policy makers and health officials that EC is an effective and safe reproductive health choice for women of all ages. Statements address Safety of ECPs, How ECPs work to prevent pregnancy, EC and Medical Abortion, and other key topics.

  • Emergency Contraception Fast Facts provides a general overview and answers questions such as "What is EC? What methods are currently available? Is EC safe?"

  • Advocacy Materials includes talking points for spokespersons and a Q & A for decision makers.

  • Past issues of ICEC/ASEC Newsletters report EC activities and announcements from all over the world.

 

Worldwide, each year:
