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

A second meeting on family planning was held in Madrid in May 1995 to reconsider family planning in the context of

new reproductive technologies and norms. Sexual health is now understood to encompass the new technologies for

treating infertility, information and counseling on sexuality, and attention for special situations and risk groups, as

well as contraceptive services. During the meeting it was concluded that continuing education of professionals

requires constant review of new scientific advances in contraception and reproduction. The political, health,

administrative, and commercial aspects of making new technologies available must be established. Recent

developments suggest that currently available services have not met the needs of family planning professionals or

the population. Incorporation of family planning into primary health care activities is accepted as a necessity, but

family planning centers continue to approximate most closely the ideal model of integrated and interdisciplinary care.

Attention to sexuality is part of family planning, although it has been neglected in recent years. Mental health

services do not appear to be the most appropriate place for meeting this need. All health professionals should

receive basic training in sexuality in order to respond to patient needs in this area and to recognize cases requiring

specialist referral. A series of proposals was formulated to meet each of these needs. (PubHealth.info Document ID:
