The prophylaxis of gonorrhea.

The current level of the gonorrhea epidemic supports the need for additional measures for gonorrhea control. In the absence of evidence that prophylactic availability enhances promiscuity, a strong case can be made for venereal disease prophylaxis. This paper reviews the efficacy and acceptability of prophylactic techniques. In the military, acceptability and efficacy have been demonstrated for systemic antibiotics, and probably a postcoital prophylactic kit. These measures are either inappropriate or unavailable for general civilian use. The condom and vaginal spermicides offer promise of partial protection; further studies of efficacy and utilization are needed.

Fertility control services for adolescents: access and utilization.

More than one million teenagers get pregnant each year; six in 10 pregnancies end in live births--the rest in induced or spontaneous abortions. More than one-third of the births are out of wedlock. Yet, two-thirds of teenage pregnancies and half of the births are not intended. Some two million teenagers at risk of unintended pregnancy are now using effective birth control methods; but two millions are still denied them.

Contraception and the adolescent female.

Although most teenagers have some knowledge of birth control methods, most sexually active adolescents do not use one consistently. Some young women are too apathetic or irresponsible to use birth control, even if the method is available. However, most teenagers do not want to become pregnant. If factual information is given, the method is easily accessible and is acceptable to them, and if they have come to terms with their own sexuality, most young women will accept the responsibility of preventing an unwanted pregnancy.

The Model Family Planning Project in Isfahan, Iran.

In the 1972-74 Isfahan Model Family Planning Project, which grew out of previous family planning projects in Isfahan, contraceptive education and services were provided by private doctors, family planning clinics, health centers, nurses, midwives, full-time field-workers, functionaries, and the mass media on a comprehensive and integrated basis. The percent of married women aged 15-44 using modern methods rose from 6 percent to 21 percent by the end of the project period. Continuation rates for the pill and IUD were comparable to those in other, more urban programs. Field-workers proved to be more effective in recruiting new acceptors than health workers and functionaries; mass media and relatives played indirect roles.
