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

Natural family planning (NFP) is being practiced in several countries throughout Latin America, with a significant

number of reported acceptors initiating and maintaining the practice of the method through International Planned

Parenthood Federation (IPPF) Western Hemisphere Region (WHR) family planning associations (FPAs). IPPF/WHR

has taken advantage of a recent updating and simplification of its service statistics system to incorporate NFP listed

as a distinct method just like the others offered by the FPAs. The FPAs were therefore credited with providing NFP.

This explicit inclusion of NFP in the service statistics forms and in the accompanying IPPF Service Statistics

Manual will likely prompt FPAs to register NFP acceptors. More FPAs will also probably consider offering this

method to clients. To incorporate NFP into a multimethod data system, family planning programs are recommended

to use the power of demonstration, provide reporting space in statistical forms, and gather, tabulate, analyze, and

publicize results. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT3T 2088-06)
