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

This paper examines the development and the evolution of the family planning situation analysis methodology. The

approach was created in response to the need for program managers at the national level to better understand how

services were functioning at service delivery points. In the process of planning and conducting large number of

additional situation analysis studies, the methodology evolved as a result of three factors: 1) adaptation to local

interests and program components; 2) critical analysis by a large number of researchers involved in the studies; and

3) a desire to explore possible solutions to continuing methodological issues and problems. Overall, it is noted that

situation analysis studies have the potential for being one of the key tools in assessing the impact of efforts to

improve service quality. However, there are a number of issues and problems for which progress and solutions are

required. The Population Council has submitted a proposal for a coordinated worldwide operations research effort to

strengthen situation analysis studies. It is hoped that the strengthened methodology, based on both a theoretically

sound framework and field-tested research methods, will provide a generally acceptable approach for assessing

supply-side variables, in much the same way that the Demographic Health Survey is now the accepted methodology

for assessing the demand-side variables. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 2533-06)
