Dear Colleague,

We work with Family Health International (FHI), a non-profit research and
technical assistance organization dedicated to reproductive health.  We
are currently researching different venues for disseminating information
on our Contraceptive Technology Update (CTU) Series, an educational and
training tool for reproductive health service providers.  We thought that
your listserver might be an appropriate avenue for placing an announcement
about the series.

Each CTU Module consists of 35 mm slide presentations in English, French,
or Spanish on the most current information related to contraceptive
methods designed for use in seminars or workshops with policy makers,
physicians, nurses, medical students, and health educators. Each contains
a suggested narrative, fact sheets, audience handouts, evaluations and
reprints of important resources. The module topics currently available
include Postpartum Contraception, Oral Contraception, Barrier Methods,
Injectables, IUDs, and Lactational Amenorrhea. Modules on Male/Female
Sterilization and Adolescent Reproductive Health will be available by the
end of 1997.

The Contraceptive Technology Update Series has been developed and produced
by Family Health International with technical input from numerous other
agencies concerned with reproductive health. The materials have been
reviewed by a number of prominent international physicians and field
tested with audiences around the world.

The development of the modules was funded by the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID). Because there has been a large demand
for the series from organizations not funded by USAID, we have been
granted permission to make the materials available for public purchase,
with the proceeds used to help subsidize free or reduced cost distributors
to reproductive health educators less able to pay full cost. We would like
to request permission to place an announcement about the availablility of
these materials on your listserv. [please forward as appropriate].

We look forward to hearing from you and if you need further information
about the series or FHI, please feel free to call.

Sincerely,

Carol Tyroler - Intern, CTU Series
