(Birth Control) and Family Planning".
Contraception (birth control)
is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in
order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman
becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the
utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices,
practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception
or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed
birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family
planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical
issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less
controversial than abortion specifically. |

| Maximizing Access and Quality (MAQ), a US Agency for International Development initiative, seeks to improve both |
| access to and the quality of family planning and reproductive health services in a cost-effective manner. MAQ |
| promotes five principles: emphasize access to quality services, build a client orientation, support quality and access |
| from the top, build quality and access from the bottom, and build in approaches to evaluate and improve services. |
| The checklists presented in this document are intended to identify critical areas of access and quality and then pose |
| provocative questions about these areas. They are meant to be used by design teams, evaluation teams, and |
| program administrators. Potential data sources include situation analysis, personal observation, interviews, client |
| follow-up studies, patient flow analysis, mystery client surveys, operations research, Demographic and Health |
| Surveys, service statistics, and service delivery guidelines. This document includes checklists for the following |
| areas: client-provider interaction; technical competence; infrastructure, physical facilities, and equipment; |
| methods/commodities; privacy and confidentiality; infection prevention; potential barriers to quality service access; |
| support for training; IEC; attention to gender issues; support for supervision; support of management; service |
| policies, protocols, and guidelines; service participation; and program strategy. (PubHealth.info Document ID: |
