The Standard Days Method is a simple fertility awareness-based method of family planning that helps women identify the days each cycle when they are most likely to conceive. Couples who wish to prevent pregnancy avoid unprotected intercourse on these days. The method was introduced in 13 sites in Rwanda, a nation with a high level of unmet need for family planning. This was the first time the method was introduced into regular service delivery, without the rigorous follow-up of a study setting. Users of the Standard Days Method were identified from clinic records and participated in interviews and focus groups. Community workers were also interviewed. Results confirm that the Standard Days Method is easy for providers to teach and for clients to learn and correctly use. The method attracts couples who are new to family planning, and is a valuable addition to the method mix offered in Rwanda.
标准日法是一种基于生育意识的简单计划生育方法，可帮助女性确定每个周期中最易受孕的日子。希望避孕的夫妇在这些日子避免无保护性行为。该方法在卢旺达的13个地点推行，该国对计划生育的未满足需求程度很高。这是该方法首次引入常规服务提供，且没有研究环境的严格随访。通过诊所记录确定标准日法的使用者，并让他们参与访谈和焦点小组。还对社区工作者进行了访谈。结果证实，标准日法对提供者来说易于教授，对客户来说易于学习和正确使用。该方法吸引了刚接触计划生育的夫妇，是卢旺达提供的方法组合中的一项宝贵补充。
