(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. |

Contraception (Birth Control) and Family Planning |
| Briefing book. Family planning in Uttar Pradesh: a review of secondary |
| research focused on contraceptive social marketing. |
| Futures Group International |
| Washington, D.C., Futures Group International, 1994 Mar. ii, 90 p. |
| This review of family planning (FP) and contraceptive social marketing (CSM) in Uttar Pradesh state, India, identifies |
| information useful in expanding marketing planning and advertising development. It identifies information gaps and |
| data about condoms and oral pills. The review identifies the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of temporary |
| method use; the attitudes and barriers to birth spacing among target populations and service providers; the image of |
| CSM brands among consumers and providers; legal restrictions on use and provision of FP; the extent of private |
| providers; and future research needs. The review is based on prior research findings for Uttar Pradesh and India |
| obtained from an extensive data base search and agency files. Uttar Pradesh had a growth rate of 2.24% in 1991. In |
| 1991, the population of 139 million was 16% of India's total population, which makes it the largest state in India. Its |
| population size would rank it as the 7th largest country in the world. 18% of population lived in urban areas in 1991. |
| The sex ratio was 882 females/100 males. The state is twice as densely populated as India as a whole. 40% of the |
| population was illiterate in 1981. About 46% lived below the poverty line in 1985. Only 25% in rural areas had safe |
| access to water in 1989. The total fertility rate was 5.4 in 1988. Women desired 3.74 children in 1989. The ideal |
| number of sons averaged 2.08. The 1992-97 plan aims to slow growth and expand spacing method use. Nonuse of |
| contraception is due to a desire for more children, a fatalistic attitude, lack of knowledge about modern methods, |
| misconceptions, and doubts about efficacy. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 3541-06) |
