Objectives: The goal of the present study is to describe how the transition to remote emergency delivery was addressed in three universities during COVID-19 pandemic, to determine the satisfaction levels of their students and faculty with this new teaching-learning experience, and to gather their opinions about the future of Higher Education. Method: The study uses a mixed methods approach, including faculty and student surveys and focus groups Results: The study shows high satisfaction with the emergency remote delivery, and clearly reflects the relevancy of enhancing the digital components of the future learning experiences in Higher Education and a unanimous preference for hybrid education, providing some interesting recommendations to institutions regarding what students and faculty would like to keep for a more effective learning experience when the new normality comes. Conclusions: COVID-19 has had terrible consequences, however, the authors of this paper believe that this pandemic has brought along some positive effects and improvement opportunities in higher education, and if the results of the present study are any indication, the future of face to face higher education should be hybrid. Implication for Theory and / or Practice: This study may have some impact on future research initiatives, but the aspiration of the authors of this paper would be to inform decision making, and make direct recommendations to institutional leaders and policy makers regarding the necessary enhancement of the digital component of the teaching and learning process in Higher Education. Keywords: COVID-19; emergency remote delivery; hybrid higher education

International Family Planning Perspectives in Ecuador, Uganda and Zimbabwe, fewer than 75% of clients in each country were given any information about the contraceptive method they re c e i v e d . 5 Results are no diff e rent when the specific content of counseling is examined. For example, to probe how well clients w e re being counseled about when and how to switch methods, a study carried out in the coastal province of Santa, Peru , used simulated clients who had recently initiated pill use and who complained of headaches. Of the 54 Ministry of Health p roviders who were approached, more than 25% failed to tell the client that the headaches might be a side effect of pill use, and more than 30% did not tell her that they might disappear shortly. 6 In a similar study based on a national sample of 25 hospitals and 74 clinics in Ecuador, 47% of providers failed to tell the client that her headaches might be a side effect of the pill, and 61% neglected to inform her that they might go away with time. 7 When confronted with such evidence of incomplete counseling, providers generally attribute their shortcomings to causes beyond their control.

Length of Counseling Sessions and the Amount Of Relevant Information Exchanged: A Study in Peruvian ClinicsBy Federico R. León, Rosa Monge, Adriana Zumarán, Ingeborg García and Alex Ríos T he concept of "informed choice" in family planning counseling implies that providers assist clients in selecting the method that best satisfies their needs, and that clients leave the session knowing about the side effects of their chosen method and how to use it safely and eff e c t i v e l y. 1 Worldwide, however observational findings suggest that actual counseling is far from meeting these requirements.Audiotaped counseling sessions in Kenya, for example, revealed that only 57% of clients receiving the injectable and 32% of those getting the pill were provided with information on their method's side eff e c t s . 2 A situation analysis of Nairobi clinics showed that fewer than 50% of new clients w e re provided with information on contraindications to or side effects of thei...

Operations research is the study of factors that can be controlled by program administrators. Among such factors is the frequency of performing program activities. The present experiment, conducted in Lima, Peru during 1985-86, tested the impact of holding family planning post sessions once per month, twice per month, and weekly. Frequency was shown to have a major impact on program outputs, costs, and cost-effectiveness. Depending on the indicator, sessions held twice per month produced between 1.5 and 2.1 times the output of those conducted once per month. Weekly sessions produced between 1.3 and 1.6 times the output of those held twice per month. At an output level of nearly 11,200 visits per year, twice-per-month sessions were estimated to be 7-38 percent more cost-effective, depending on the indicator, than once-per-month sessions, and 6-28 percent more cost-effective than weekly sessions.

Para dar consejo, distribuir métodos, y hacer referencias clínicas competentemente, las promotoras comunitarias de anticonceptivos de INPPARES deben conocer la tecnología de planificación familiar. Se describe la construcción del Test de Conocimientos de Planificación Familiar para Promotoras mediante un proceso que aseguró la validez de los contenidos, la consistencia interna de los pontajes, y la confiabilidad de pruebas paralelas del test. El test viene en dos versiones equivalentes, A y B, de 80 items de elección múltiple cada una. Produce pontajes separados para cuatro áreas temáticas: Anticonceptivos Orales, Métodos de Barrera, Sistema Reproductivo, y Política Institucional/Dispositivos Intrauterinos; además genera varios puntajes compuestos y un pontaje total. Se evalúa las propiedades psicométricas del test, sus aplicaciones en investigación, y sus usos prácticos
