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

The overall purpose of this study is to determine the effect of federally supported family planning programs in terms

of patient satisfaction with services, the use of federally assisted family planning projects, effect of the project on

contraceptive use, and reduction of unwanted pregnancies. Data contained in both these chapters is collected from

a list sample of project users and from the Harlem/Bronx location only in the area probability sample. Included in the

Chapter 3 discussion of general fertility behavior are fertility indicators, unwanted fertility, family size measures, ideal

age of childbearing, and an estimate of women in need of subsidized family planning. This is followed by an

exploratory examination of fertility behavior as it relates to different sources of family planning service. Chapter 5

concentrates on the extent to which other medical care before and after use of the local federally supported family

planning project. In the area probability study, questions included the respondent's rating of her own health, the

number of visits to a doctor during the past year for her own care, the kinds of medical problems she has been treated

for, and how she paid for services. Questions were also asked regarding prior use of family planning services,

previous family planning instruction by medically trained personnel, and the number of months pregnant when first

sought medical care. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT8T 65-06)
