ABSTRACT
In order to improve the effectiveness and subtainability of the family planning programme, the National Family Planning Board has devised a strategy to shift users to longer-acting methods and increase the role of the private sector. To design interventions, a better understanding of existing services was thought to be necessary. This study examines the distribution of family planning service delivery points in Jamaica and the services offered by the public and private sectors through an examination of records and questionnaire interviews. The study found that, because of the concentration of private sector providers - the main outlets for longer-acting methods - in urban areas, rural areas had poor access to these methods. Because rural areas are not attractive to private sector providers, the public sector should recognize the need to continue to serve these areas
