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

In many developing countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, unsafe abortion has been documented as a major

cause for maternal mortality. The prevention of maternal death is possible through the use of contraceptives that

impede unwanted pregnancies. The enhancement of front-line service providers' skills in family planning counseling

is essential for reaching this goal. To this effect, a training package that includes a video for service providers

attending postabortion patients will be developed. Its objectives include: 1) increasing health care workers' and

policy makers' awareness of the need for postabortion family planning services and counseling, and 2) providing

information to health care workers about which family planning methods are appropriate for use during the

postabortion period. This paper attempts to summarize a number of documents available in the literature on post

abortion and family planning. It includes some documents that are not catalogued in the library systems such as trip

reports, project reports, and other informal but valuable documents. Its purpose is to develop key ideas that will

guide the program and help in the design of the formative research that will support the development of messages to

be included in the training package. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 3003-06)
