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

Current and former professional staff of the Population Council have updated the Handbook for Family Planning

Operations Research Design. They assume that readers of the handbook already know terms and concepts of

research design and statistics and have some field research experience. The primary objective of the manual is to

provide guidance to health and family planning researchers to develop and write and detailed operations research

proposal. In fact, it can be and has been used in workshops on research proposal writing. It also serves as a means

for program administrators and managers to understand the workings of operations research and the application of

research findings for improving service delivery. The authors draw from their field experiences from Asia, Africa, and

Latin America. The handbook begins with a definition of operations research, its objectives, different types of

operations research, and its desing. It guides readers on how to identify, define, and justify the research problem.

Further it helps them to choose a strategy to solve the problem. I next covers objectives and hypotheses of the

research. The handbook makes the readers aware of the need to describe the proposed intervention and to define

variables and terms. It spends a considerable number of pages on study design including the different types of

designs. It also provides guidance on sampling and data collection. The handbook gives detailed guidance on data

tabulation and analysis. It also stresses the need to disseminate and use the research findings. It encourages

researchers to list limitations of the study, resources, and facilities. It also addresses the preparation of appendixes,

title page, and abstract. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT3T 2036-06)
