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).

ABSTRACT

Research in human reproduction and family planning has been undertak en to bring about a rapid decrease in the

population by developing methods and approaches which will be appealing and effective for a variety of men and

women. The World Health Organization has given assis tance in a number of ways to help in the development of

such research. Studies on the relationship between family formation and health have been conducted in a number of

developing countries. The studies have helped in the development of a national interdisciplinary expertise for

similar research in selected public health institutions. Contraceptive methods are being assessed, including

hormonal contraception, IUDs, and sterilization. New methods are being developed. WHO has designated certain

institutions as WHO research and training centers in human reproduction. Research has been planned on several of

the operational problems which have arisen as demands for abortion increase. WHO-sponsored operational

research studies are being carried out on many areas of family planning. Assistance for research training is being

provided by WHO both within and outside the national family planning programs. Reviewing groups meet regularly to

assess projects. Funds for WHO research programs in human reproduction and family planning were $1.147 million

for the period 1964-1969 and $16.184 million for the period 1970-1973. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 3510-
