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

The results of the Korean national family planning program since its establishment in 1962 are summarized. Tables

present information on acceptors and current users of each type of contraceptive for different years, termination rates

of the IUD, cumulative pregnancy rates and disposition of those pregnancies for dropouts from the program, and

comparisons of results in pilot experimental and control areas. Total fertility has dropped 15 percent during the 5

years since the family planning program started. Contraceptive use among older women and high incidence of

induced abortion among high parity women has accounted for this drop in fertility. Results of the study show that the

fertility dr op did not depend on the supposed effectiveness of the methods used. Among current users, the condom

and other traditional methods are most popular, with high termination rates for both the pill and the IUD. These

results indicate that initial acceptance is not as improtant as continued and effective use of a given method of

contraception. The use of village mothers' clubs in the family planning program proved effective. Efforts should be

made to increase continuation of contraception instead of focusing on mere acceptance. Continuation will increase

if effective service, motivational efforts, and social reinforcement for contraceptive practice are provided.
