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 Bradford Local Health Authority introduced a domiciliary family planning service in 1968 to provide follow-up for

its clients. Nurses make home visits to counsel and interview patients concerning any problems encountered with

their contraceptive methods. Nurses visit clients who fail to keep initial appointments at the clinic, Asian immigrants

(a group underrepresented at the clinics), high parity women, prostitutes, child abusers, and mothers of illegitimate

children. The family planning nurses are also capable of providing advice on other matters and therefore have an

important role to play in preventative medicine. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT8T 553-06)
