Here you can find abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health topics under category "Contraception (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.

ABSTRACT

New developments in the use of currently available fertility control technologies are just as important as research

activities to develop new contraceptive methods. This paper discusses innovations arising from operations, social

science, clinical, and biomedical research. Method effectiveness, safety, side effects, secondary benefits, clinical

dependence and consumer control, and other factors such as cost, coital dependence, social acceptance,

reversibility, and programmatic capabilities may all affect contraceptive choice. The authors present contraceptive

failure rates for voluntary surgical contraception, injectable contraceptives and Norplant, IUDs, oral contraceptives,

condom, spermicides, diaphragms, and coitus interruptus and fertility awareness methods. Further sections

consider contraceptive use worldwide, female voluntary surgical contraception, vasectomy, oral contraception,

maternal mortality, risks of mortality due to pregnancy and contraception, IUDs in the 1990s, breast feeding and

family planning, Norplant, injectables, condoms for men and women, and nonsurgical sterilization. Turkey's strength

in family planning is noted. IUDs have been used especially well by midwives. The authors conclude that while

newer improved technology is needed, more could be done with existing technology such as male and female

sterilization, injectables, and Norplant. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT3T 1579-06)
