PURPOSE: Prioritization of cancer treatment initiation in women of reproductive age may underscore potential implications on reproductive health. This study describes a family planning quotient (FPQ) and reproductive life index (RepLI) tool designed to help providers to discuss effectively reproductive health with women with cancer. METHODS: We tailored the FPQ/RepLI tool for patients with cancer after development in the family planning setting and piloted it with 36 oncology patients referred to our family planning clinic. Each patient completed the FPQ/RepLI with a health educator or medical student and then met with a physician to create a reproductive life plan. A subsample evaluated the tool by rating satisfaction using a Likert scale. Summary statistics were calculated overall and by childbearing status. RESULTS: Of the 36 women, 22 did not desire additional children and received contraception. One third (n = 14) had not completed childbearing, four of whom continued with fertility preservation counseling. Women who desired childbearing were less likely to already have children ( P = .02), and more than one half were using long-term contraception. All agreed that the FPQ/RepLI helped them to talk to their provider about their reproductive goals. Only 44.4% agreed that their oncologist knew how many children they desired, and 88.9% found the tool helpful and would use it for future tracking of their reproductive goals. CONCLUSION: The FPQ/RepLI is useful for assessing the reproductive health of young women with a new cancer diagnosis, understanding desires of future childbearing, and providing effective contraception. We recommend the incorporation of this tool into practice to better understand patients’ reproductive needs.

e18018 Background: Focus on fertility preservation has overshadowed other aspects of reproductive health including sexuality and contraception in cancer care. Regardless of future childbearing interest, the first 18-months post-diagnosis of cancer are considered suboptimal for childbearing. We have coined the term, oncocontraception, for the application of contraception in cancer care. To address this need at our institution, we used the novel Family Planning Quotient/Reproductive Life Index (FPQ/RepLI) which allows providers to better understand patients’ reproductive health goals and counsel them towards appropriate family planning services. These tools aid providers in implementing clinical care to prevent pregnancy during this critical time. They are routinely utilized at Stroger Hospital in the Family Planning Clinic for women within the reproductive age, between the ages of 18 and 55. Methods: FPQ and RepLI were adapted for use with oncology patients. They were used to visually depict and quantify a woman’s reproductive life plan and assist health care providers in speaking to a woman regarding family planning as it pertains to and aligns with her cancer treatment. Results: During our study period, 36 reproductive aged women were seen in our family planning clinic after a cancer diagnosis. Our study population was comprised of mostly Hispanic/Latino women (58.3.0%) and 50.0% were between the ages of 31-40. The majority of the study group had breast cancer (77.8%) and were being treated with chemotherapy (52.8%). Among the study population, 80.6% received a form of contraception (44.8% short-term, 55.2% long-term). Conclusions: We established a link between the Oncology and Family Planning Clinics to incorporate contraceptive counseling as an essential piece of comprehensive cancer care. Approximately 45% of the women newly diagnosed with cancer are in the reproductive age range. With improvements in treatments and prognosis, quality of life factors are of increasing importance for these women. With this essential clinical relationship, patient counseling and provider-patient communication regarding contraceptive care in the context of cancer diagnosis will continue to grow and improve.

AbstractThis commentary is intended to take China as a case to discuss the mission of the family planning program under low fertility scenario. After a brief review of the initiation of family planning program in the 1970s, as well as the reorientation of family planning program since ICPD in 1994, it will focus on the new mission for the family planning program under low fertility scenario in the twenty-first century, in particular concerning the issue of induced abortion among the others. Given the enormous evidence of unmet needs in reproductive health as identified in the discussion, it is argued that family planning programmes are in fact even more needed than ever before under low-fertility scenario, and should not be abandoned but strengthened, which clearly has nothing to do to call back to the program for population control in the 1970s–1980s, and nor even go back to the program for “two reorientations” in the 1990s, but to aim to serving the people to fulfill their reproductive health and reproductive rights in light of ICPD and SDGs, and to become truly integral component of “Healthy China 2030” Strategy.

Editorial note. The material presented below was originally recorded in an article by Dr Hall in Cuadernos Medico-Sociales, 10, 1969. This Chilean medical journal is published in Spanish and is relatively inaccessible in Europe. In view of the interest and importance of the attitude of the male to family planning, especially perhaps of the South American male, it seemed desirable to bring Dr Hall's findings to the attention of a wider audience. The paper which follows is a revised version of the original English text from which the Spanish translation was prepared. I am much obliged to Dr Hall for her cooperation.A survey of 584 men in Santiago and 217 men in an adjacent rural area showed that:(1) Men were favourable to family planning, both in their own personal relationships and for other adults. In all socio-economic strata, more respondents favoured giving information to men than women. It is suggested that male support be enlisted in efforts to reduce induced abortions.(2) Men favoured giving contraceptive information to youths of both sexes. The family planning programme, therefore, could provide information to adolescents at a time when attitudes toward sex are developing.(3) There was wide agreement that family planning education be discussed in schools ‘in accordance with the age of the children.’ There is thus an opportunity for the schools to help children develop a system of values within the framework of widely available effective contraception.
