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

253 men in 3 Mexican cities were interviewed concerning their attitudes and behaviors regarding direct or indirect

participation in family planning, within the framework of changing female roles. The study was carried out by the

Mexican foundation for Family Planning (MEXFAM) in Mexico City, Monterrey, and Queretaro. One-third of the sample

in each city consisted of men active in MEXFAM's industrial family planning program, and the others represented the

general male population. The ultimate objective of the study was to identify ways to increase male participation in

family planning. The initial chapter describes the aims of the work, the paucity of research on the male role in family

planning, and the gender perspective of males in the study of family planning. The second chapter describes the

sociodemographic and economic characteristics of the respondents and presents results of the questions regarding

"neomachismo," sexual behavior, characterization of family behavior and male participation in it, networks of social

control and influences, perceptions of health, knowledge and attitudes regarding family planning, relationships with

MEXFAM and other family planning agencies, and participation in family planning. The final chapter identifies and

discusses variables associated with male participation in family planning and proposes guidelines for promoting

male participation. A description of the methodology and study design, and the questionnaire itself are included in

appendices. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT3T 1551-06)
