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

Two sequential projects involved communicating information on breastfeeding and contraception to clinicians and

new mothers in an easy-to-use format. Both projects were collaborations between PATH and the Population

Council, with PATH helping the Population Council develop, test, revise, and produce the materials. The first

project was on overcoming constraints to breastfeeding in lower socioeconomic urban groups. Its purpose was to

improve the appeal and accessibility of breastfeeding to new mothers at a municipal hospital in New York City.

"Breastfeeding: A Nurse's Guide" and "A Mother's Guide to Breastfeeding" were developed with Ford Foundation

support. The mother's guide was produced in English and Spanish. The materials have proven both useful and

popular, requested by many other programs promoting breastfeeding. "Contraception during Breastfeeding: A

Clinician's Sourcebook" was also developed and later adapted with Ford Foundation and US Agency for International

Development funding for Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia, Senegal, and Egypt. Brief, general feedback from sourcebook

country recipients is presented. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 554-06)
