Abstract

Before discussing family planning, birth control, and contraception, it is crucial to define the terms. Family planning/birth control are contraceptive methods, treatment of infertility, procedures, devices, and behaviors that allow people to obtain their desired number of children and determine the spacing of pregnancies. Contraception is a subset of family planning/birth control, defined as the intentional use of artificial methods or other practices to prevent pregnancy. The primary forms of contraception are a barrier method, hormonal, nonhormonal IUD, and sterilization.
