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.

ABSTRACT

This paper outlines general areas in which research and studies related to Voluntary Surgical Contraception (VSC)

should be undertaken and concentrated. These include research and support studies upon initiation of VSC

programs to establish short and long term objectives, goals, target population and the logistics of the program. Other

types of important studies should determine program impact on fertility rates and population growth and follow-up

studies to establish rescheduling needs of the program and to gather information on the post-operational and

psychoemotional state of the user. Experience in the Dominican Republic illustrates the various uses of research.

The initiation of a VSC program in the country was based on data demonstrating demand for the method. Data also

showed that the average female sterilization seeker was older and highly parturient. The demographic impact can

only be achieved when a younger and less parturient population is reached. This finding resulted in the elimination

of a minimum age requirement for women seeking sterilization. It is emphasized that, given the character of the VSC

service, it is necessary to keep information on user level of satisfaction with the method as well as on the behavior of

the demographic variables of the population served; and that the analysis of existing data contributes to

improvement of service and projection of achievements without need to add large costs to the service.
