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

During the period covered by this report the main experimental program was refined and implemented. The

effectiveness of the demonstration program, measured by the percentage of women attending 2 family planning

clinics, has been somewhat lower than expected, but is expected to increase during the next 2 months. The highest

rates of success have taken place in those target areas served by a neighborhood clinic and where both a mail and

personal contact educational campaign were introduced. The ability of an imaginative personally directed mass

mail campaign to reach and inform low income women about family planning is conclusively substantiated. The

New York State Medicaid program appears to have drawn off a sizeable proportion of women potentially interested in

birth control, leaving a greater-than-expected proportion of the target population which is more difficult to reach

because of misunderstanding and fears about contraception, and personal taboos and embarrassment about sexual

matters. (author's) (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT9T 1030-06)
