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

The 1982 9th Asian Parasite Control and Family Planning Conference, held in Seoul, Korea, discussed the

Integrated Family Planning, Nutrition and Parasite Control Projects in 5 countries--Indonesia, Korea, the Philippines,

Taiwan, and Thailand--to determine the future of the projects. The conference brought together project

administrators, specialists in nutrition and parasitology, and experts from health, development planning and

education to review the following issues: 1) the management system employed for effective project implementation;

2) the necessary human resources and the ways and means of developing such resources; 3) the education

activities, community partcipation, and government collaboration required for such projects; 4) future perspectives,

and sanitation strategies for parasite control; and 5) the institionalization of the projects. Reports of the individual

countries and their progress with the projects are included in this review. Topic presentations on individual issues,

such as parasite control and environmental sanitation, and reports on group discussions are also included. Overall,

the integrated projects are a great success in each country. The Japanese Organization for International

Cooperation in Family Planning's overview of the projects is summarized as: 1) the integrated project areas can

accelerate the acceptance of family planning; 2) community participation is an essential ingredient at every stage of

project development; 3) strong administrative and organizational support are necessry to sustain the projects; 4)

projects in some areas were conducted in relation to other developments with the aim of improving the quality of life

of the individual, family, and community; 5) parasite infection rates decreased substantially in most areas; and 6)

community interest in participation in environmental sanitation programs offers encouragement in the project.
