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

There is little doubt that general practitioners are playing an increasing part in advising patients about birth control.

Eighty-two per cent said they spent more time discussing this than they did five years ago. Most of them, 78 per cent,

agreed that this was an appropriate task for general practitioners; some did relatively little and that rather reluctantly,

and about one per cent refused to have anything to do with it. There is still plenty of scope for extending their role in

this field. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT9T 1011-06)
