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.

ABSTRACT

The Moroccan government undertook a survey of the attitudes concerning family planning, and its practice and the

knowledge of it in urban areas. In October 1966, a sample survey of the urban areas was carried out. Single girls,

men, and women were interviewed; all were Moslems. Overall level of education of the women was very low. The

average ideal number of children for the women (3.3) was higher than the average number stated by the husbands

(3.1). Half of the women did not want any more children. A third of the women stated that they had had a pregnancy

before they wanted to. Knowledge of contraceptive methods was not widespread; only 40% of the women under 50

knew about the IUD although that was the method used in the Moroccan government program. Interest in learning

about contraception, on the other hand, was widespread. Practice of contraception was extremely low.
