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

Recent developments through 1973 in family planning program activities in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon,

Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Yemen Arab Republic, the Sudan, Libya, and Algeria are reviewed. In

many of the countries, active governmental participation in family planning activities is absent, existing policies are

often pronatalist, and contraceptives and abortions are illegal. Sparse populations and increasing oil revenues have

prompted many countries of the region, such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Algeria, and Libya, to simultaneously encourage

population growth and rapid economic development. The extensive information and education activity of the

Lebanon Family Planning Association and the American University of Beirut are described. Some information is

also provided on the growing family planning activities, including the distribution of oral contraceptives and IUDs, of

the Jordan Family Planning Association. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 3018-06)
