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 review of data on the influence of family planning on fertility, using as a sample 10 locations in India, Pakistan and

neighboring Mauritius, Malta, Fiji and Tonga. The report begins with a discussion of the scope and basis for the

review and the advantages and disadvantages of longitudinal sampling studies. The questions asked are

elaborated, concerning fertility impact of FP programs, effect on mortality, population characteristics pertinent to the

design of the program, impact of services, qualitative factors, acceptance of birth control methods, impact of

educational efforts and possible improvement of studies being done. The questions are then answered in the light

of the longitudinal samples, including menstrual status of rural Indian women aged 15-44, logistical observations

and acceptance of various methods. The writer notes that in this study Malta functioned as a control since no FP

programs exist and a lower fertility rate seems to have been achieved through the practice of coitus interruptus. The

report concludes with suggestions for further development of sampling techniques. (PubHealth.info Document ID:
