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

Where there is accessability to family planning programs, about 50% of the target population responds. In poverty

areas the problems which need to be overcome include scheduling, eligibility, crowding, fee practices, and lack of

information. The cultural-motivational approach has not been successful although it dominates the thinking of

health and welfare professionals. This rationalization for slow progress may stem from upper class biases.
