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. |

| A demographic study began in Poland in 1975 with a questionnaire on family planning, and was completed in 1981 |
| by comparing the responses with actual data. The 1975 sample survey covered 13,499 newlywed couples. Only |
| 7772 couples (57%) answered the 1981 questionnaire. Participants in the survey were asked about the ideal, |
| planned, and actual number of children in their households. They also provided information about the number of |
| children they would like to have in the future. This article presents and analyzes the demographic data supplied by |
| the sample survey. The analysis indicates that 49.9% and 42.8% of the surveyed couples consider 2 and 3 children, |
| respectively, as the ideal situation. In the cities, these figures are 60.1% and 36.1%, while in rural areas they change |
| to 29.1% and 56.4%, respectively. 12.3% of the rural couples voted for an ideal family of 4 children. The data |
| indicate that the newlyweds surveyed consider 2.6 the ideal number of children in a family (2.4 for cities and 2.9 for |
| rural areas). 58.7% and 28.0 of the couples planned to have 2 and 3 children, respectively (65.0% and 21.8% in |
| cities; 46.0% and 40.7% in rural areas). Therefore, the planned number of children was 2.3 overall, 2.2 in the cities, |
| and 2.6 in rural areas. The actural number of living children was 2.1 for the survey overall, 2.0 in the cities, and 2.5 in |
| rural areas. This survey shows that birth control methods of some kind, including contraceptives and abortion, were |
| used by almost all of the survey couples after 6-7 years of marriage. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT5T 2050-06) |
