Job Aid: How and When to Use the Pregnancy Checklist and Pregnancy Tests contains guidance to help providers rule out pregnancy in their clients before initiating a hormonal contraceptive or inserting an intrauterine device (IUD). To rule out pregnancy, family planning providers in low-resource settings have typically relied on a client’s medical history (often collected using the Pregnancy Checklist) or required that the client return during her next period to initiate the method. With an increase in the availability of pregnancy tests, and knowing that both the pregnancy checklist and a pregnancy test can be highly accurate for ruling out pregnancy, providers want to know when to use the checklist or the test.
