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).

ABSTRACT

This is a report on a novel study sponsored by The Family Planning Association of Hong Kong in order to get some

detailed analysis of how decisions to practice family planning were actually made, with special reference to the

activities of field workers. The Association commissioned the Social Survey Research Centre of The Chinese

University of Hong Kong to carry on the study under the personal supervision of Robert E. Mitchell, Director of the

Centre. There have been very few such studies done in connection with family planning programs and we are

indebted both to the Association and to Mr. Mitchell for enabling us to present this abridgment of the report. (author's)
