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

This handbook offers guidelines for collecting day to day statistics in a large family planning program. It assumes

that the program is directed to a large general population and is designed to provide safe and effective contraceptive

methods to couples who wish to postpone pregnancy or to limit the number of their children. "Service statistics"

refers primarily to information that is generated by program personnel in the day to day execution of their

responsibilities. Service statistics for a family planning program will include such data as number and

characteristics of clients, frequency of various types of service provided, program personnel records, supply levels,

and costs for different phases of the program. A large program cannot be administered without the maintenance of

records and statistics of this kind. Administrators will need to know personnel shortages, for example, and family

planning workers will need to know which clients are new, which ones have been previously serviced in what ways,

and which kinds of potential clients are most resistant to the program. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT9T 1071-
