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

A review of contraceptive practice in Sweden is presented using data on 292 women who sought a legal abortion in

1980. The data suggest that although most women practiced a form of contraception, only about one third used a

contraceptive method correctly. Variations in contraceptive practice and effective contraceptive practice are

considered by age. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT5T 2054-06)
