Contraceptive Services Module Guide
The Health Services Report captures contraceptive service delivery on a monthly basis. All service data will be disaggregated by channel: Franchise Facilities, Service Delivery Partners, and PSI Direct Service Provision. For franchise facilities and service delivery partners, only services that meet PSI’s criteria for service delivery through partners can be reported. For detailed definitions of these channels and channel types, please click here: https://helppsi.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/14000014984-common-data-element-definitions
Why collect these data?
The contraception module collects data on the provision of short term methods, long term methods, and permanent methods. The tables on these tabs track not only the type and number of methods provided, but also information about the clients receiving them and the circumstances related to method provision. This data is useful for a variety of programmatic and reporting applications:
Internally, these data will provide important trend data on service delivery at the global level. Programmatic trends help to identify both challenges and successes; areas that need greater attention and support as well as opportunities for platform-to-platform assistance. These data are also key inputs for proposals, further ensuring contraceptive program advancement and strengthening through new funding.
Externally , these data will allow PSI to leverage its network to contribute to global discussions about contraceptive service delivery, particularly in the private sector. These programmatic data, aggregated across all PSI family planning programs, can provide critical information about service delivery models that successfully contribute to achieving international and national contraceptive prevalence goals.
Impact Estimation (e.g. DALYs averted, unintended pregnancies averted, maternal deaths averted): For each tab, we have noted where data will be used to estimate impact.

Section 1: Short Method Provision | Data Elements |
Table 1: Short-term contraceptive service method provided during family planning counseling sessions Covers the following short-term methods: Emergency contraceptive pills Progestin-only pills Combined oral contraceptive pills Injectable 1 month Injectable 2 month Injectable 3 month-IM Injectable 3 month-SC Cyclebeads | Short-term contraceptive services provided by method, channel (PSI direct, social franchise, service delivery partner) and product source Short-term contraceptive product quantities provided by method, channel and product source |
Data Element: Short-term contraceptive services provided by method, channel (PSI direct, social franchise, service delivery partner) and product source (PSI product, non-PSI product) |
Purpose: This data element is measuring the total number clients receiving short-term contraceptive services, disaggregated by channel and whether the product received by the client was a PSI product or not. |
Precise Definitions: Oral contraceptives can be one of two types: Combined Oral Contraceptives (COCs) and Progestin-Only Pills (POPs). COCs contain low doses of two hormones, estrogen and progestin. They are distributed in packages containing a one-month supply, and must be taken every day. POPs contain very low doses of progestin and do not contain estrogen. They are distributed in packages containing a one-month supply, and must be taken every day. They are most often used by breast-feeding women within the first 6 months following delivery. CycleBeads are a form of fertility awareness family planning that facilitate the Standard Days Method. The Standard Days Method (SDM) helps women to keep track of their cycle days and to know which days they are more likely to get pregnant. CycleBeads are a color-coded string of beads that representing the menstrual cycle; each bead represents a day of the cycle and the color helps a woman to determine the likelihood of getting pregnant if a she has unprotected intercourse that day. Injectable contraceptives are hormones delivered to a woman through an injection in her arm or buttocks. There are two types of injectable contraceptives: combined and progestin-only. Injectable 1 refers to combined injectable contraceptives, which contain both progestin and estrogen and are administered once a month and are reversible (a woman can get pregnant once she stops using them). Injectable 2 is a progestin-only injectable containing NET-EN, and most commonly referred to as Noristerat. They are administered every two months and are reversible (a woman can get pregnant once she stops using them). Injectable 3 is a progestin-only injectable containing DMPA. The three-month DMPA injectable can be administered via intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. When administered intramuscularly, a common brand name is Depo-Provera (among others). When administered subcutaneously, a common brand name is Sayana Press. They are administered every 3 months and are reversible (a woman can get pregnant once she stops using them). There are two main types of dedicated Emergency Contraception Pills (or ECP): Levonorgestrel-only emergency contraceptive pills (LNG ECPs) and pills containing ulipristal acetate (UPA ECPs). Emergency contraception (EC) can be used to reduce the chance of pregnancy following unprotected intercourse. They can be taken within 120 hours of unprotected intercourse. The LNG regimen is most effective if taken within 72 hours. PSI Product : Report the product under this category if the product passed through a PSI warehouse and thus was captured by the CTL/Lawson. Reporting 'PSI Products' will prevent double-counting for health impact attribution for products that were already captured by CTL/Lawson. Non-PSI Product : Report the product in this category if it did not pass through a PSI warehouse and thus was not captured by the CTL/Lawson. For a detailed definition of “channel” and “product source” see the common data elements definition page. |
Unit of Measure: Number of clients receiving contraceptive methods |
Disaggregated by: Method (emergency contraceptive pills, progestin-only pills, combined oral contraceptive pills, injectable 1 month, injectable 2 months, injectable 3 months, cyclebeads) |
Justification/Management Utility: This table counts the number of short-term method services provided. Programmatic trends help to identify both challenges and successes; areas that need greater attention and support as well as opportunities for platform-to-platform assistance. These data are also key inputs for proposals, further ensuring contraceptive program advancement and strengthening through new funding. In order to estimate DALYs and CYPs, product quantities must be provided in addition to service statistics. PSI/Non-PSI products must be distinguished to avoid double counting products that have also been reported in the CTL or Lawson. |
Data Element: Short-term contraceptive product quantities provided by method, channel and product source | |
Purpose: This data element is measuring the total quantities of short-term contraceptive products provided during family planning sessions | |
Precise Definitions: This table counts the number of short-term contraceptive method quantities provided to clients (e.g. 20 condoms). The number of short-term contraceptive methods quantities provided in this table might not equal the number of clients reported. For example, one client could be provided with 3 months of oral contraceptives. Product quantities should be calculated as follows: | |
Emergency contraceptive pill Progestin-only pill Combined oral contraceptive pill Injectable (1-, 2-, or 3-month) CycleBeads | 1 dose (containing 1 or 2 pills) 1 cycle of progestin-only pills 1 cycle of combined oral contraceptive pills 1 injection 1 bead string |

| Data Element: Services provided by contraceptive method and age |
| Purpose: This data element is measuring the total number of contraceptive method services provided by method and client age. It should be completed in addition to the short, long, and permanent method tables. |
| Precise Definitions: Condom users should only be recorded if they are using no other form of contraception in addition to condoms. The male condom is dual method of short-term birth control and STI protection. A male condom is a sheath, or covering, usually made of thin latex rubber made to fit over a man's erect penis. Condoms help prevent both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. A female condom is a non-latex sheath that can be inserted up to eight hours prior to sexual intercourse for the purposes of preventing pregnancy or protecting against sexually transmitted infection, including HIV. There are two main types of dedicated Emergency Contraception Pills (or ECP): Levonorgestrel-only emergency contraceptive pills (LNG ECPs), and pills containing ulipristal acetate (UPA ECPs).
