This report describes an assessment of reproductive health needs in LAO People’s Democratic Republic. Chapter 2 focuses on birth spacing and the health worker’s role. There is a great demand for and interest in birth spacing among women and men in the community. Training of health providers on the different contraceptive methods seemed adequate where the program had been introduced, but client counselling (for new and repeated clients) was limited. The team found providers rather passive about promoting birth spacing among potential or interested clients, and the team indicated that there were many missed opportunities where information on contraception could be given.
