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).

ABSTRACT

The International Planned Parenthood Federation's AIDS Prevention Unit has developed this manual to guide

educators, community groups, performing artists, and writers in developing activities to examine ideas, attitudes, and

problems related to AIDS prevention and family planning or to produce a story, a song, or play to perform. The

manual emphasizes the use of drama and related activities and media in sexuality, family planning, and

STD(sexually transmitted disease)/HIV education. The introduction provides information on who can use this

resource, its objectives, situations for using it, the role of drama in health promotion, and getting started. The second

section offers activities, giving for each their instructions, aims, ways of using them, and backgrounds. Some

examples of the activities included are: warm-up exercises and games, trust games, storytelling, role play, activities

that promote laughter, developing ideas for drama, mime and gestures, and exercises that develop awareness of

different perspectives, communication styles, and status and power. The third section provides guidance on turning

drama into a performance. The last section is dedicated to analyzing and pretesting, follow-up and support, and

monitoring and evaluation. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT3T 2087-06)
