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

The attempt was made to evaluate 3 approaches given to midwives (Mohtamyae) in different provinces in Thailand.

The Mohtamyae in Nakorn-nayok received training, were given an incentive of $.50 per acceptor, and worked with a

community leader. In Kanchanaburi, Mohtamyae received only the incentive and the training program. Mohtamyae in

Petchaburi received only the training program. In Chantaburi the Mohtamyae received nothing and served as the

control group. After the training program given to Mohtamyae in 3 provinces, Mohtamyae began working under

observation during the August 2, 1973 through July 31, 1974 period. The number of Mohtamyae were not as many as

expected until the end of October. A refresher course was given to all Mohtamyae in the 3 provinces that had the

training program. After the course in late October, the number of acceptors in Petchaburi increased markedly and the

number of active Mohtamyae also increased. In Nakorn-nayok the number of acceptors also increased, but there

were no changes in the other 2 provinces. In Nakorn-nayok the total number of family planning acceptors was 166 for

the entire year. There were 113 acceptors in Petchaburi, 36 acceptors in Kanchanaburi, and 28 acceptors in

Chantaburi which was the control group. Acceptors in the 4 provinces mostly selected the oral contraceptive. The

IUD was the 2nd method used. Users were mostly in the 20-24 year age range. The behavior change in family

planning in the experimental areas was very little when compared to the control area. (PubHealth.info Document ID:
