The document provides guidance for healthcare providers on discussing family planning methods with clients. It suggests asking clients if they have a method in mind and checking their understanding of how it suits their needs. For clients with no preferred method, it recommends discussing their experiences, plans for children, STI/HIV risk, and partner/family attitudes to help them find a suitable option. The document then compares effectiveness, side effects, and duration of various methods and stresses that condoms are the only way to prevent STIs.
