Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is a well established tool for decisionmaking in family planning programs, but has seldom been used in assessing natural family planning (NFP) and breastfeeding programs. This report documents results of a 1988 workshop on this issue sponsored by the Institute for International Studies in NFP. The report covers five areas: (1) the uses of CEA in NFP and breastfeeding programs; (2) a review of available CEA studies of NFP and breastfeeding programs; (3) effectiveness measures; (4) costing strategies; and (5) recommendations for Institute activities and for further use of CEA in NFP and breastfeeding programs. A major conclusion of the workshop was endorsement of the use of CEA in NFP and especially in breastfeeding programs.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
