PubHealth.info®
(a subsidiary of
PakMed) presents scientific information mainly
based on abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health issues/topics,
particularly encompassing
population planning, disease prevention, maternal and child health,
and communicable and
non-communicable diseases (like HIV AIDS, malaria, etc) that are
affecting a significant portion of population in developing and
developed
countries. 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. |

| Income and employment consequences for African-American participants of a |
| family planning clinic: a seven-year follow-up. |
| Ann Arbor, Michigan, University Microfilms International, 1991. viii, 320, [45] p. |
| The relationship between teenage childbearing status and young adult life chances was examined by in-person |
| interviews with 95 African-American women who had been part of a 2-year study in the early 1980s at the Hospital of |
| the University of Pennsylvania (HUP). Teen fertility status was based on the childbearing status of these family |
| planning clinic participants at the conclusion of the HUP study. Life chances were defined by income and job |
| quality measures. The data suggested that teenage childbearing status was less disadvantageous than a |
| background of family welfare use to young adult life chances. Despite considerable postsecondary schooling, |
| fulltime employment, and current employment, from 1/2-3/4 of the respondents continued to live in poverty. In |
| addition, the background factors such as family residence, paid employment experience in high school, and family |
| welfare use, plus the intervening fertility, educational, and employment factors, seemed to more strongly influence |
| the income and job quality of the "abortion" group than of the "never pregnant" or "deliver" groups, suggesting that |
| young adult advantage or disadvantage was not a result simply of having or not having a child as a teen. This |
| research calls for the continued reconceptualization of African-American teen pregnancy and childbearing as actions |
| which accompany social/structural disadvantage rather than as actions which are predicted on elements of |
| individual behavior. (author's) (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT3T 2067-06) |
