Dr. Anne Peterson, MD, MPH explains how using family planning to safely time and space births improves maternal and child health and survival and reduces abortion rates. Dr. Peterson also explains how recent research has shown previous beliefs that some contraceptive methods were abortifacients to be inaccurate.
Dr. Douglas Huber discusses a Christian approach to family planning, including technology, programs, and advocacy. He explores attitudes on family planning among various Christian denominations and methods used. He also explains how various methods work to prevent unintended pregnancies.

Family planning: is defined as "educational, comprehensive medical or social activities and services which enable individuals, including minors, to determine freely the number and spacing of their children and to select the means by which this may be achieved.
Birth control: Birth control is the use of any practices, methods, or devices to prevent pregnancy from occurring in a sexually active woman. Also referred to as family planning, pregnancy prevention, fertility control, or contraception; birth control methods are designed either to prevent fertilization of an egg or implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus. Birth control methods may be reversible or irreversible.
Contraception: (birth control) prevents pregnancy by interfering with the normal process of ovulation, fertilization, and implantation. There are different kinds of birth control that act at different points in the process.
Benefits of Family planning

2.8.1 Branding
Branding has its existence from ancient era. According to Nilson (2000), the first example
of branding is found in the oil lamps' manufacture on the Greek islands thousands of years
back. Brand elements are name, sign, term, symbol, design or distinguishing characteristics.
Brand is not only a graphical design or a logo; it is the unique identity of the product.
By American Marketing Association, Brand can be defined as name, term, sign, symbol
or design, or a combination of them intended to identijy the goods and services of one seller or
group of sellers and to diferentiate them from those of other sellersa54
Branding is a process, where a company generates loyalty among consumers in the
market. Brands are designed with a motive to communicate customers the reason for the
existence of their product. Brand should have a strong connection with customers;

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

3. Definitions
What is contraception?
Contraception is the intentional prevention of pregnancy by artificial
or natural means.
What is family planning?
Family planning allows individuals and couples to anticipate and attain
their desired number of children and the spacing and timing of their
births. It is achieved through use of contraceptive methods and the
treatment of involuntary infertility.
What is an unmet need for family planning?
An unmet need for family planning is the number of women that want
to stop or delay childbearing but are not using any method of
contraception to prevent pregnancy, including also pregnant women
whose pregnancies were unwanted or mistimed at the time of
conception, and postpartum amenorrhoeic women who are not using
family planning and whose last birth was unwanted or mistimed.

4. Key facts about contraception /
family planning
Among the 1.9 billion Women
of Reproductive Age group
(15-49 years) worldwide in
2019, 1.1 billion have a need
for family planning; of these,
842 million are using
contraceptive methods, and
270 million have an unmet
need for contraception.
The proportion of the need
for family planning satisfied
by modern methods,
Sustainable Development
Goals (SDG) indicator 3.7.1,
was 75.7% globally in 2019,
yet less than half of the need
for family planning was met in
Middle and Western Africa.
Use of contraception
prevents pregnancy-related
health risks for women,
especially for adolescent
girls.
Only one contraceptive
method, condoms, can
prevent both a pregnancy
and the transmission of
sexually transmitted
infections, including HIV.
Use of contraception
advances the human right of
people to determine the
number and spacing of their
children.
Contraception offers a range
of potential non-health
benefits that encompass
expanded education
opportunities and
empowerment for women,
and sustainable population
growth and economic
development for countries.

5. Increased risk of having problems during
pregnancy and delivery
Some women have an increased risk of having problems during
pregnancy and delivery. They are women who:
• Are under the age of 18, or over age 35
• Become pregnant less than 2 years after a previous live birth
• Become pregnant less than six months post-abortion or post-
miscarriage
• Have too many children (high parity)
• Have certain existing health problems
• Do not have access to skilled health care
Problems are more likely in those with multiple risk factors.

7. Contraceptive methods
There are different types of contraception. They can be
short acting or long acting, reversible or permanent.
The different methods of contraception have varying rates
of effectiveness depending on correct usage. (See next
few slides)
Health care providers play an important role in helping
people find and use a method that is both effective and
acceptable.

11. Comparing Effectiveness of Family Planning Methods
How to make your
method more effective
Implants, IUD, female sterilization:
After procedure, little or nothing to do or
remember
Vasectomy: Use another method for first
3 months
Injectables: Get repeat injections on time
Lactational Amenorrhea Method (for 6 months):
Breastfeed often, day and night
Pills: Take a pill each day
Patch, ring: Keep in place, change on time
Male condoms, diaphragm: Use correctly every
time you have sex
Fertility awareness methods: Abstain or use
condoms on fertile days. Standard Days Method
and Two-Day Method may be easier to use.
More effective
Less than 1 pregnancy per
100 women in one year
Less effective
About 30 pregnancies per
100 women in one year
Female condoms, withdrawal, spermicides:
Use correctly every time you have sex

23. Family planning and Human Rights
All individuals and couples have the right:
“…to decide freely and responsibly the number,
spacing and timing of their children and to have the
information, education, and means to do so, and
the right to attain the highest standard of sexual
and reproductive health...”
