Download or read book The Best Intentions written by Committee on Unintended Pregnancy and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-06-16 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts estimate that nearly 60 percent of all U.S. pregnancies--and 81 percent of pregnancies among adolescents--are unintended. Yet the topic of preventing these unintended pregnancies has long been treated gingerly because of personal sensitivities and public controversies, especially the angry debate over abortion. Additionally, child welfare advocates long have overlooked the connection between pregnancy planning and the improved well-being of families and communities that results when children are wanted. Now, current issues--health care and welfare reform, and the new international focus on population--are drawing attention to the consequences of unintended pregnancy. In this climate The Best Intentions offers a timely exploration of family planning issues from a distinguished panel of experts. This committee sheds much-needed light on the questions and controversies surrounding unintended pregnancy. The book offers specific recommendations to put the United States on par with other developed nations in terms of contraceptive attitudes and policies, and it considers the effectiveness of over 20 pregnancy prevention programs. The Best Intentions explores problematic definitions--"unintended" versus "unwanted" versus "mistimed"--and presents data on pregnancy rates and trends. The book also summarizes the health and social consequences of unintended pregnancies, for both men and women, and for the children they bear. Why does unintended pregnancy occur? In discussions of "reasons behind the rates," the book examines Americans' ambivalence about sexuality and the many other social, cultural, religious, and economic factors that affect our approach to contraception. The committee explores the complicated web of peer pressure, life aspirations, and notions of romance that shape an individual's decisions about sex, contraception, and pregnancy. And the book looks at such practical issues as the attitudes of doctors toward birth control and the place of contraception in both health insurance and "managed care." The Best Intentions offers frank discussion, synthesis of data, and policy recommendations on one of today's most sensitive social topics. This book will be important to policymakers, health and social service personnel, foundation executives, opinion leaders, researchers, and concerned individuals. May

Download or read book The Global Family Planning Revolution written by Warren C. Robinson and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The striking upsurge in population growth rates in developing countries at the close of World War II gained force during the next decade. From the 1950s to the 1970s, scholars and advocacy groups publicized the trend and drew troubling conclusions about its economic and ecological implications. Private educational and philanthropic organizations, government, and international organizations joined in the struggle to reduce fertility. Three decades later this movement has seen changes beyond anyone's most optimistic dreams, and global demographic stabilization is expected in this century. The Global Family Planning Revolution preserves the remarkable record of this success. Its editors and authors offer more than a historical record. They disccuss important lessons for current and future initiatives of the international community. Some programs succeeded while others initially failed, and the analyses provide valuable guidance for emerging health-related policy objectives and responses to global challenges.

Download or read book Background and Development of the National Reporting System for Family Planning Services written by Barbara J. Haupt and published by Department of Health Education and Welfare Public Health. This book was released on 1978 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has been operating a reporting system for family planning clinic services since May 1969. Data are collected through this system about individuals who receive family planning services from participating family planning service sites throughout the U.S. and some of its territories. The information obtained is useful for research purposes and for program planning and evaluation, primarily at the national level. The information obtained through the National Reporting System may be divided into 4 general types: data about the participating facilities, data about the sociodemographic characteristics of the individuals being served, data about the types of services being provided, and data about the visits made. Information collected about the individuals being served consists of identification information and the sociodemographic characteristics of each person. Data about the family planning services provided refer to the medical, counseling, and referral services that each person receives at a particular visit and include information about the type of contraceptive method adopted by each person and previous contraceptive use. Focus here is on the legislative and historical background of the reporting system, the provisional reporting system (the report form, operational procedures, and output tabulations), and the national reporting system (the report forms, operational procedures, and output tabulations). The 100% family planning reporting system has grown rapidly during the 7 years of its operation. During 1970 some 800 service sites reported serving 415,000 patients who made 640,000 visits for family planning services; these figures have increased to 4940 service sites reporting 3,248,000 patients who made 5,853,000 visits during 1975.
