HIPs
Previous Brief Versions
High Impact Practices (HIPs) are a set of evidence-based family planning practices vetted by experts against specific criteria and documented in an easy-to-use format. HIP briefs are updated based on current evidence and information. The briefs on this page are previous versions of now updated HIP briefs. Though there are more updated versions of these briefs, the information and guidance found in the older versions could still be useful for implementation and scale-up of a high impact practice.
