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 booklet contains two parts: 1) a family planning guide for orderlies and nurse-aides and 2) a corresponding

guide for their teachers. Methods directly dispensed by New Guinea aid post orderlies are the condom and the pill,

but the orderly must know all other methods in order to refer women to doctors, family planning clinic sisters, special

teachers and health education officers. The instructional guide describes in simple terms the reasons for family

planning, how a fetus develops, and methods of birth control--the condom, the pill, the Lippes loop, hormone

injections, the ovulation method, and vasectomy. Advantages, disadvantages, and side effects of each method (if

any) are discussed. Record keeping methods are discussed and sample record cards are included. The teacher's

guide consists of 12 lesson plans that health workers can use to conduct training for the orderlies and nurse-aides.

Lesson objectives and teaching aids are discussed. Role playing scripts and student exercises are also included.

It is suggested that the course take 3 days and that training groups should not consist of more than 20 people.

Priority training is given to those workers in areas where family planning services are unavailable. (PubHealth.info
