Different Characteristics

Most individuals will wish to avoid pregnancy for some part of their reproductive years. A variety of hormonal and nonhormonal contraceptive methods are available, which have different characteristics related to systemic effects, bleeding patterns, and effort required on the user’s part. The goal of contraceptive counseling is to identify a method that is safe and compatible with the individual’s preferences. Clinicians may often be able to help patients initiate contraception on the day of the initial office visit. They should remain available and supportive to patients who wish to switch methods and provide comprehensive counseling for all available contraceptive methods as well as emergency contraception options.

Access To Contraception

Social workers are in a position to provide contraceptive information to clients at high risk for unintended pregnancy. This paper reports on the results of an exploratory survey of licensed social workers in Pennsylvania (N=197) working with clients of childbearing age about their knowledge of contraceptive methods and policies regarding access to contraception. The majority of respondents reported that they did not feel they were knowledgeable about birth control issues. Particular gaps in their knowledge included information about emergency contraception and laws regarding access to contraception by minors. Respondents reported that social work courses do not adequately prepare students to discuss the provision of contraceptive information to clients. Implications for social work are discussed.

Objectives: As a form of contraception which is used after sex, emergency contraception occupies a singular place in the birth control repertoire. The relatively high UK incidence of pregnancy terminations and of teenage pregnancy, combined with the recognition that much early sex remains unplanned and unprotected, has led to calls for better access to emergency contraceptive methods. In this study a combination of self-completion questionnaires and semi-structured interviews was used to explore views of emergency contraception among women who were using the method. Methods: Five hundred and ten women attending two family planning clinics in Oxford and London completed a questionnaire in the waiting room and 53 women who were attending for emergency contraception took part in semi-structured interviews. Results: The view, presented in recently published UK guidelines, that emergency contraception is a reliable method and not dangerous to repeat, was not shared by the respondents. The rationale for and sources of women's concerns about the strength of the dose of hormonal emergency contraception and the nature of side-effects are explored.

BIRTH CONTROL AS VIEWED IN 1923 BY A HIGHLY RESPECTED AMERICAN PEDIATRICIAN

Dr. Richard Arthur Bolt (1880-1959) was both a greatly respected American pediatrician and an acknowledged leader in the development of maternal and infant hygiene programs. His chapter entitled "The Mortalities of Infancy" in Isaac Abt's (1867-1955) encyclopedic, nine-volume treatise on pediatrics, published between 1923 and 1926, contains this negative view of birth control.1 This terrific loss of life in utero or shortly after birth constitutes a serious problem from a biological as well as a social standpoint. Of recent years there has been an alarming increase in the frequency and actual number of induced abortions. This has gone hand in hand with the insidious propaganda for so-called "birth control" or "voluntary parenthood"—a movement which has gained momentum in France, Holland and New Zealand, and has gradually spread to England and the United States. While the birth control enthusiasts would indignantly disclaim any connection between the "contraceptive methods" of "voluntary parenthood" and induced abortions, it is very evident that the more "moral technique" of contraception must often break down and relief from the "accidents" which follow be frequently sought in induced abortion. Thus far contraceptive methods have been practiced largely by the elite and better educated classes. Those most able to bear children and meet their support have been the very ones to shirk the responsibility, while those for whom birth control is claimed to be a great boon still proceed to build up large families. It has been estimated that at least four children to a family are necessary to keep up the stock.

Long Acting Reversible Contraceptive

AbstractAdolescents are at risk for unwanted pregnancy when they become sexually active, and contraception is an important part of mitigating this risk. Use of contraceptive methods, and long-acting reversible contraceptive methods such as implants and intrauterine devices in particular, has increased among adolescents. Although sexual activity has declined and contraceptive use has increased among adolescents in the United States in recent years, the unintended pregnancy rate remains high. All of the currently available contraceptive methods are safe and effective for adolescents to use; however, adolescents may have specific concerns about side effect profiles and unscheduled bleeding that should be addressed during contraceptive counseling. Healthcare providers should prioritize adolescents' needs and preferences when approaching contraceptive counseling, and also consider the unique access and confidentiality issues that adolescents face when accessing contraception.

Emergency contraceptives play a major role in preventing unwanted pregnancy. The use of emergency contraceptives is characterized by myths and lack of knowledge by both health professionals and users. The main objective of this paper is to summarize the clinical pharmacology of hormonal methods of emergency contraception. A literature review was done to describe in detail the mechanism of action, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, safety profile, and drug interactions of hormonal emergency contraceptive pills. This information is useful to healthcare professionals and users to fully understand how hormonal emergency contraceptive methods work.
