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

An evaluative report of a pilot and extensional mobile family planning clinic project of the Iglesia ni Cristo

(Philippines) is presented. 320,000 adults received information about family planning within 2 months, and 6903

new acceptors of family planning methods were recruited within 6 months. Extended project goals, which include

the education of 1.4 million adults on reproduction, contraception, and the advantages of family planning, the

motivation of 70,000 men and women to family planning, the provision of family planning and follow-up services, the

availability of health services to 400,000 members of the Church, storage of family planning commodities in Church

facilities, and a promotional literature campaign, were all successfully met. The lack of adequate supply systems

and facility of financing were the major problems encountered by the project. High acceptance and continuation

rates are probably due to Church exhortation and the provision of services through Church facilities. The bases for

study of program impact on fertility and directions for planning of future efforts are outlined. General

recommendations for improving planning for vehicles, supplies, and providing technical consultation for the design

of the record keeping system and evaluation strategy are summarized. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 3048-
