Presentations and Descriptions
Key Note Address
This address will discuss why males play a vital role in the Title X program and challenge existing paradigms that see males solely as partners of women with STIs.
The Who, the What and the Why - Males and Title X: Federal Family Planning Perspectives
This presentation will provide an overview of the Office of Family Planning and Title X, review existing and new initiatives, discuss the intent of Title X as it relates to males, and describe the protocols for counting males as family planning users under current Title X guidelines.
From Concept to Application: Panel Discussions
Each of the three panel discussions is designed to showcase approaches to successfully integrating family planning and reproductive health services for males into existing practices. High-performing grantees, delegates, and clinics will be featured and present their strategies for developing, implementing and evaluating family planning and reproductive health services for males. The benefits of and challenges to providing services for males as experienced by panelists will be discussed.
So, What are Male Services Anyway? Developing a Scope of Services for Males in a Title X Clinic Setting
This presentation will highlight resources and information that can inform decisions about family planning and reproductive health services should be provided for males in Title X settings. Plans for developing formal recommendations for standards of care will be reviewed.
Guidelines for Male Sexual and Reproductive Health Services
The Region II Male Advisory Committee will provide an overview of its recent publication and recommendations for providing comprehensive reproductive health services for males. Supporting evidence for recommendations will be highlighted.
Ensuring Success: Approaches to Adapting Evidence-Based Programs for Males
In 2010, the use of science-based approaches to providing clinical and educational services is expected. While the pool of evidence-based reproductive health programs grows, few of them are designed specifically for male clients. This presentation will review strategies for adapting evidence-based reproductive health programs for male populations. Considerations for selecting, implementing and evaluating evidence-based programs for males will be reviewed.
Show Me the Money: Maximizing Revenue Through Billing Practices
In the world of family planning how we get paid for the services we provide is extremely important. However, the correct coding of those services is what actually allows providers to maximize our billing efforts. This workshop is designed to identify billable male services, the process of submitting a clean claim form and identifying the correct CPT and ICD-9 codes for office based Male Evaluation and Management (E&M) Family Planning services.
Male Exam: Clinicians Only
This session is designed to increase the comfort and ability of clinicians to perform male examinations in family planning settings. Protocols for conducting genital and anal examinations will be reviewed. Screening for STIs, cancer, and abnormalities will be discussed. Utilizing models, clinicians will have the opportunity to practice their examination skills and be provided with feedback.
Note: The number of attendees for this workshop is limited. Spaces will be filled on a first-come – first-served basis. Due to the content and practical nature of the training this session is open to practicing clinicians ONLY.
Information is power: Sexual History-Taking & Communication
This workshop is designed to help participants learn how to conduct comprehensive medical and sexual histories with males. The value of knowing complete information will be examined. Tools and techniques used to collect comprehensive medical and sexual histories will be shared. Skill-building opportunities to better communicate with clients about risk, pregnancy, sexuality and overall health will be offered. .
Doing Your Best is Something… Knowing You’re Doing it is Everything!
This workshop is designed to provide participants with practical strategies to incorporate quality assessment and evaluation into clinical operations to continuously improve family planning and reproductive health services for males.
Of Males and Men: Working Within the Context of Diversity
The concept of male culture implies that they have their own unique wants, needs and motivations that must be considered when providing them with quality family planning and reproductive health care services. To further this concept, we must take into account the varying levels of diversity among males and the ability to consider the slight nuances that exist as a result of this diversity is vital to the outcome of the experience. This workshop will focus on the implications of diversity within the male culture, successful approaches within the context of diversity, effective communication and other strategies specific to working with males, all in an effort to deliver a more positive experience to the male client as well as the provider.
Gender Matters: Addressing Masculinity in Evidence-based Programs
During this workshop, participants will discuss the ways in which harmful gender norms in our society affect men’s and women’s sexual decision making. Participants will be instructed in a method to systematically analyze evidence based curricula for the inclusion of gender norms and work in small groups to develop adaptations and learning activities that aim to change harmful gender norms with a particular focus on boys and men.
Resources From the MTC
This presentation will review resources that are (or can be looked forward to soon being) available from the MTC to help family planning and reproductive health staff and programs improve their ability to provide services for males. Tools will be highlighted. MTC staff will be introduced.
National Male Research Project: Lessons Learned
This presentation will focus on the efforts and preliminary findings of the National Male Research Project, a collaboration of the Office of Family Planning, the Center for Health Training and five participating study sites. The focus of the project is to examine the feasibility of implementing a male service delivery model across multiple sites at a national level with the goal of increasing the number of males who access family planning and related reproductive health care services.
Closing Plenary - If Not Us, Who? If Not Now, When? Addressing Health Disparities and Moving Forward
This session will discuss key issues impacting health disparities amongst racial and ethnic minority males and the challenges they face when seeking reproductive health care.
