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.

ABSTRACT

Steps taken by Planned Parenthood of Santa Barbara to involve men in clinic activities are outlined. In staffing, it is

necessary to make men more visible in Planned Parenthood agencies. Generally, they are only seen as doctors or

top level administrators. They should be considered as secretaries, clerical workers, and appointment people. Men

today are usually outsiders in family planning clinics. To encourage them to accompany their partners, the Santa

Barbara group has begun a partners discussion group and a group on female sexuality for men. Both have attracted

increasing numbers of men. A successful technique used by the Oakland group was to include men in postpartum

contraception discussions in the hospital. While it is important to bring men into the clinic, it is also important not

overlook the women who come in without a partner. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 3027-06)
