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

Efforts to involve men in the family planning clinic at Philadelphia General Hospital consisted primarily of running a

peer counseling program, where teenagers were trained to help other teenagers with their counseling needs.

Funding was a problem, as was initial resistance among hospital staff. It is suggested that clinics conduct in-

service staff training so that everyone who works at the clinic supports clinic programs. Good referral are also

important, particularly among people who work well with students, such as school counselors, gym teachers, and

coaches. Be prepared to move into the area of human sexuality and to create your own literature. (PubHealth.info
