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

Postcoital contraception will become a significant topic of debate in Spain because of its recent incorporation into

family planning, questions concerning its exact mode of action, the ethical and moral implications of its presumed

anti-implantation effect, and the increasing demand for it among young people and other population sectors. The

Postcoital Contraception Workshop held by the Family Planning Association of Madrid demonstrated the absence of

protocols for the method and the lack of knowledge of many practitioners concerning its use. At present, postcoital

contraception appears to be frequently used in Spain, but there is little or no monitoring of its effects or efficacy. The

Family Planning Federation of Spain is undertaking Project PRE-VEN during 1995-96 in nine autonomous

communities to improve the quality of postcoital contraceptive services and to increase public knowledge of the

advantages and shortcomings of the method. A protocol for postcoital contraceptive services will be distributed to

all family planning centers in the project area. Information will be sought from centers providing services so that

statistics on its use will be available. A pamphlet will be prepared for the general public, and an information

package will be made available to specialized periodicals and communications media. The quantifiable goals

include distribution of 1200 protocols, 7000 reporting forms, and 10,000 pamphlets. (PubHealth.info Document ID:
