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

The hypothetical case scenario and four case discussion questions presented in this supplement to "The Family

Planning Manager" seek to increase program managers' understanding of the use of ELCO (eligible couples) maps.

Community-based family planning workers update the map after each round of household visits. Thus, valuable data

are available at a glance on the contraceptive methods currently being used by eligible couples, couples who

switched methods or discontinued contraceptive use, and those who became pregnant. The program director in this

hypothetical case was using data collected in this manner to form estimates of contraceptive prevalence and the

method mix in the area. Other suggested uses of the ELCO map are to identify couples who have never practiced

family planning and determine the reasons why, keep track of community women who are pregnant and ensure they

receive prenatal care, provide support to couples who have chosen sterilization, set realistic targets for the number of

new acceptors, and schedule the community worker's time. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT3T 1559-06)
