A family practice survey in Ventura County.
Seventy-five percent of family practitioners in Ventura County, California, responded to a seven-page mailed questionnaire. One third of the practitioners do no obstetrics. The physicians counsel seven patients to every delivery performed and to every surgical procedure performed. Family practice consists of medicine and pediatrics, rather than surgery, obstetrics and psychiatry. Family practitioners use referrals to community health care services in a limited fashion. Lack of information about availability of community resources may be the reason.

Teenagers: fertility control behavior and attitudes before and after abortion, childbearing or negative pregnancy test.
Following abortion or delivery, teenagers' knowledge and use of effective contraception improved markedly; but those who had negative pregnancy tests continued to take risks--and to get pregnant--subsequently. Most sexually active teenagers were poorly educated on the facts of reproduction, and began to have intercourse before seeking contraception.
