based on abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health issues/topics,
particularly encompassing
population planning, disease prevention, maternal and child health,

topics under category "Contraception
(Birth Control) and Family Planning".
Contraception (birth control)
is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in
order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman
becoming pregnant or giving birth. 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. |

Contraception (Birth Control) and Family Planning |
| Family planning study. Vol. 2. Research design and methodology. |
| Washington, D.C., U.S. Department of Commerce, National Technical Inform |
| ation Service, June 1973. (OEO-LN-1417) 50 p |
| Project design and methodology are described for a study conducted for the Office of Economic Opportunity and the |
| Department of Health, Education and Welfare to evaluate federally supported family planning services and to assess |
| the impact of such services on the fertility behavior of women who had used the program, with special emphasis on |
| low-income groups. Specific comparisons were sought between users and nonusers of federally subsidized |
| programs with respect to contraceptive attitudes and practices, effect on birthrates, degree of satisfaction with |
| alternative services, and other parameters. The final field design specified: 1) interviews with a list sample of project |
| patients in 31 selected locations and an area probability sample of women aged 15-44 years (users and nonusers of |
| project services) drawn from 7 project sites and 2) collection of administrative and fiscal data from staff mem bers |
| at each project. 2 major chapters describe the design and execution of the list sample phase and the area |
| probability phase of the project. A concluding chapter comments on the limitations of the data generated due to time |
| constraints and the research methodology employed. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT8T 63-06) |
