In this online discussion, health professionals around the world 
will share their experiences with diaphragms in diverse settings 
and their questions about potentially incorporating diaphragms into 
service delivery. This forum also is an opportunity to review the 
latest guidance on diaphragms featured in Family Planning: A Global 
Handbook for Providers and exchange information and experiences 
with colleagues who are working to provide high-quality family 
planning services.

The discussion will be guided by the interest of the participants. 
The forum will focus on programmatic as well as technical issues 
and will include topics such as availability of and demand for 
diaphragms, womenâs perspectives, recent research on the diaphragm 
for HIV prevention and in combination with novel spermicides for 
contraception, incorporating and providing diaphragm services, and 
future research and programming opportunities. A variety of tools 
and resources on diaphragms will be available for easy access in 
the online Resource Library.

The Global Handbook was prepared through a unique collaboration 
between Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, the United 
States Agency for International Development (USAID), the World 
Health Organization (WHO), and over 30 organizations around the 
world.

This online discussion is sponsored by PATH, Ibis Reproductive 
Health and the INFO Project, based at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg 
School of Public Health Center for Communication Programs in 
collaboration with the Implementing Best Practices (IBP) in 
Reproductive Health Initiative and WHO.
