["Mary Burket" <MBurket@pathfind.org>]

Pathfinder International is pleased to announce the release of three new publications produced in conjunction with our one-year, eight-country Youth-Friendly Postabortion Care (YFPAC) Project. 
 
Saving Young Lives: Pathfinder International's Youth-Friendly Postabortion Care Project, October 2008 This report shares Pathfinder's recent experience implementing the Youth-Friendly Postabortion Care (YFPAC) Project in eight African countries; it contains program descriptions, an overview of the process of making PAC services youth-friendly, key results, challenges, lessons learned, and recommendations. 
 
Assessment of Youth-Friendly Postabortion Care Services: A Global Tool for Assessing Postabortion Care for Youth, October 2008 This tool is designed to help project managers, supervisors, and providers collect detailed information on the quality of postabortion care services provided to adolescents at a given facility in order to make postabortion care services more youth friendly. The tool can also be used to gather essential baseline information, allowing for repeated applications to measure progress and impact of program interventions.
 
Pathfindings: Youth-Friendly Postabortion Care Services in Africa, October 2008 A summary of evaluation findings from Pathfinder's Youth-Friendly Postabortion Care Project implemented in eight African countries.
