The workshop had three objectives: to review newly available data on Norplant's efficacy, safety, and use; · to extract lessons from diverse aspects of the method's development, introduction, use, and market experience; and to explore approaches to developing and introducing new contraceptives based on learning from the Norplant market experience. The workshop consisted of these elements: 17 formal presentations; two organized dialogues, one on consumer perspectives, the other on strategies for developing and introducing new contraceptive technologies; and extensive discussion among subcommittee members, presenters, and invited participants on the information presented and its implications.
