based on abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health issues/topics,
particularly encompassing

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. |

| From 1961 through 1968, family planning activities in Bali were limited to efforts of the Indonesian Planned |
| Parenthood Association, a voluntary association. In 1969 the government became involved in coordinating family |
| planning efforts of voluntary groups and various government bureaus. In 1971 the government took over running of the |
| family planning program. The program runs clinics, sponsors information/motivation activities, and sends field |
| workers into the country. Since the end of 1972, cumulative acceptors totaled 36.6% of the eligible population. |
| Annual acceptance rates have increased each year. 2/3 of all acceptors choose IUDs and 1/4 choose pills. |
| Younger and less well-educated women tend to choose IUDs. Farmers' wives and Bali Hindus, both of whom |
| represent low status groups, tend to choose IUDs. Acceptors have generally been characterized by high fertility. IUD |
| continuation rates have been high and pregnancy rate low in Bali. Rates of total contraceptive use and rates of |
| program contribution to this contraception were some of the highest in the world in 1973 and 1974. There have been |
| administrative and operational problems with the program. There were various cultural factors which might have |
| mitigated against the success of the program. Certain situational, program, and cultural factors made for success |
| despite the disadvantages. Since March 1973, the number of acceptors has been declining. Smaller proportions are |
| accepting IUDs, the most effective method. With the ending of incentive fees for field workers, it is feared that |
| recruitment will suffer. A new record-keeping and supply system is being established. It is hoped that increased |
| interest can be generated for sterilization. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 2584-06) |
