PubHealth.info® (a subsidiary of PakMed) presents scientific information mainly based on abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health issues/topics, particularly encompassing population planning, disease prevention, maternal and child health, and communicable and non-communicable diseases (like HIV AIDS, malaria, etc) that are affecting a significant portion of population in developing and developed countries. Here you can find abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health 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.

ABSTRACT

A follow-up survey was conducted to document the performance of preproject family planning acceptors in the area

covered by the Indonesian demonstration Field Postpartum Project. The 2 year investigation period (April 1971-

March 1973) can be divided into 2 time frames: 1) A 20 month period during which 9080 acceptors were recruited by

the routine mechanisms of the National Family Planning Program. 2) A 4 month intensive acceptor drive which

recruited an additional 9048 acceptors. Between the 2 time frames, acceptors were distributed int he same

proportions: 55% using IUD and 44% using pills. This paper compares the performance of regular and intensive-

drive acceptors in terms of postacceptance continuation and pregnancy rates. Field interviewing was limited to the

Mjokerto Regency, allowing intensive supervision and a low lost to follow-up (LFU) rate (less than 7%). The special

drive acceptors had slightly lower LFU rates probably because they were followed-up one year sooner than the regular

program acceptors. This substantiates the high acceptance levels reported during the special drive. IUD acceptors

from both time frames had high continuation and low pregnancy rates. Within 1 year of acceptance, 6% of regular

program and 8% of special drive acceptors became pregnant. Pill acceptors were substantially less successful

contraceptors, especially in the special drive: 1 year after acceptance, 16% of regular program and 25% of special

drive pill acceptors were pregnant. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 3041-06)
