PubHealth.info® (a subsidiary of PakMed) presents scientific information mainly based on abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health issues/topics, particularly encompassing population planning, disease prevention, maternal and child health, and communicable and non-communicable diseases (like HIV AIDS, malaria, etc) that are affecting a significant portion of population in developing and developed countries. Here you can find abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health topics under category "Contraception (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.

ABSTRACT

The paper examines the validity of two indices of sustainability: family planning programme sustainability (PSI) and

outcome sustainability (OSI) developed by Tsui and Knight (1997) by applying their original method to recent data.

The indices succeed in identifying the directional path of programme and outcome sustainability. Close correlations

are found between PSI and OSI predicted values and actual programme and outcome values. The indices provide a

repeatable method for measuring sustainability, although they are sensitive to data measurement errors. The indices

provide a policy tool for funding decisions but should be used with other data sources to judge sustainability.
