Decision-Making Tool for Family Planning clients and Providers

 

Using the DMT Electronic Files

 

*      The tool has been designed in Microsoft PowerPoint to make it easy to adapt, translate and use. However, for mass production, some printers may insist that it is converted into a design programme. This will involve graphic design work.

*      There are 19 PowerPoint files for the tool:

*      01: Title page, Acknowledgements and Introduction [PPT 1.02 MB]

*      02: Welcome, Choosing Method and Dual Protection sections [PPT 2.38 MB]

*      03: Special Needs [PPT 949 KB]

*      04: Returning Client [PPT 1.97 KB]

*      05-18: 14 different method sections (separate files)

*      05 : Emergency Contraception [PPT 345 KB]

*      06 : Copper IUD [PPT 1.18 MB]

*      07 : The Pill [PPT 1.18 MB]

*      08 : The Mini-Pill [PPT 863 KB]

*      09 : Long-Acting Injectable [PPT 702 KB]

*      10 : Monthly Injectable [PPT 842 KB]

*      11 : Norplant Implants [PPT 677 KB]

*      12 : Vasectomy for Men [PPT 653 KB]

*      13 : Female Sterilization [PPT 894 KB]

*      14 : The Male Condom [PPT 538 KB]

*      15 : Female Condom [PPT 586 KB]

*      16 : Vaginal methods [PPT 691 KB]

*      17 : Lactational Amenorrhoea Method [PPT 424 KB]

*      18 : Fertility Awareness-Based Methods [PPT 854 KB]

*      19: Appendices [PPT 2.15 MB]

 

*      The files have been set up to facilitate the printing process. For this reason, the first client side page of each section is included in the electronic file of the previous tabbed section - it is not part of its own electronic file. To print: the files need to be printed double-sided, with “Short Edge” Binding. You can just print all the files like this, and the whole tool should print out perfectly. You don’t need to do anything further for printing.

*      Since the first client-side page is in the previous electronic file, this means that if you decide to remove method sections for an adaptation, you have to make sure you switch in the correct last page in each electronic file.

*      The credits pages and the introductory pages are pages which are designed for the provider only. For this reason, and because the files must be printed as “short edge” binding, the text appears up-side-down in the electronic file (the provider would then still read it the right-way-up). If you need to translate or adapt this text and alter electronically, you can just “Rotate” the boxes again for editing purposes (and re-rotate them later).

*      Tabbed pages have a box showing the tab mark. Once tabs have been made, or individual tab pages designed at the printers, then you can remove these boxes that indicate the tab placement.
