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.

ABSTRACT

A study was undertaken to determine the impact of federally supported family planning programs in terms of patient

satisfaction with services, utilization of federally assisted family planning projects, program effect on contraceptive

behavior, the need for federal assistance in providing family planning services, and the reduction of unwanted

pregnancies. The 1st of the 2 chapters included in the volume contains 1) demographic characteristics of the list

sample; 2) comparisons of list sample women with all women attending federally funded family planning projects

and with National Fertility Survey Respondents; 3) demographic characteristics of the Harlem/Lower Bronx area

probability sample; and 4) comparison of selected demographic variables in the list sample and Harlem/Lower Bronx

area probability sample. Chapter 2 deals with sources of family planning services, which include any professional or

institutional means by which women receive contraception supplies or medical care and information relevant to the

prevention or delay or births. Included are sections on the list sample, Harlem and the Lower Bronx, and 7 locations

of the area probability study: Tucson, Arizona, Rockford, Illinois, 3 counties in eastern Iowa, Rapides Parish,

Louisiana, Harlem and Lower Bronx, New York, Nashville, Tennessee, and San Antonio, Texas. 2 ancilliary issues

are discussed in the study: the recommendation of a family planning source by a mother to her teen-age daughter

and the question of alleged genocide.(AUTHOR'S, MODIFIED) (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT8T 64-06)
