Sample flow charts describing the components are provided for the initial family planning visit, the follow-up revisit, the medical problem visit, the annual visit, and the pregnancy test visit. Finally, the selection and utilization of educational methods and strategies in family planning are considered. Aspects of services that might be provided by various staff members are also suggested.
