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 Federal Institute for Population Research (BIB) initiated in the summer of 1992 the interviewing of about 10,000

German men and women aged 20-39 years in East and West Germany within the scope of the UN/ECE project of

"Fertility and Family Surveys in Countries of the ECE Region (FFS)." This contribution presents first results of this

survey. After a general overview on the major differences between men and women living in East and West Germany,

the results of questions on the existing and/or desired number of children and on the use of methods of family

planning are presented. Supplementary to this presentation of results, an overview is given on the concept of the

UN/ECE-FFS project and on methodological matters with regard to the design and implementation of the German

survey within the scope of this international FFS project. (summaries in ENG, FRE, GER) (PubHealth.info
