based on abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health issues/topics,

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. |

Contraception (Birth Control) and Family Planning |
| COPE: client-oriented provider-efficient services. A process and tools for |
| quality improvement in family planning and other reproductive health |
| New York, New York, AVSC International, 1995. [115] p. |
| The Association for Voluntary Surgical Contraception (AVSC) International developed COPE (Client-Oriented |
| Provider-Efficient Services), a method that health facilities can apply to learn how to make their family planning |
| and/or other reproductive health services more efficient and more responsive to client needs. COPE is intended to be |
| cost-effective, easy to understand and to use, and appropriate for use in developing countries, where resources are |
| limited. Its principles are self-assessment and use of local action and existing resources to identify and resolve |
| problems. An experienced COPE facilitator typically assists a health facility conduct its first COPE exercise. At the |
| same time, this facilitator trains a staff member in facilitating future COPE exercises at the same site. COPE |
| facilitators and site facilitators use this manual to facilitate COPE exercises. The manual has information on |
| beginning COPE and helping facilities prepare for a COPE exercise, facilitating the COPE introductory meeting, |
| using the four COPE tools (self-assessment guides, client interviews, client-flow analysis, and the action plan), |
| facilitating the action plan meeting, and conducting COPE follow-up. Its guides should be considered suggestions |
| rather than instructions. The manual contains sample letters, schedules, and completed samples of forms. The |
| appendixes have a blank copy of each form and guides used during the exercises. An explanation of the Sterilization |
| Record Review comprises appendix B. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 2508-06) |
