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

The existing contraceptive market, the channels of distribution, and the potential for increased private sector

participation in expanding the availability and use of contraceptive products are identified and evaluated. Included

are interviews with contraceptive manufacturers and distributors, small-scale retail outlet owners, and actual and

potential consumers of contraceptives products. Currently about half of the couples in Venezuela are using

contraceptive products, orals, IUDs, and condoms being the most widely used methods. The report provides

extensive discussion of problems at the importer, retail, and consumer levels, and describes both problems and

opportunities in implementing a family planning program through commercial means. (PubHealth.info Document ID:
