Abstract

A comparative study of patients attending a county family planning clinic showed a doubling of the number of parous females under the age of 18. A significant decrease in the pregnancy rate among 19- to 25-yr-old women requesting contraceptive advice was noted. The continuation rates for oral contraceptives and intrauterine devices during a 28-month period of time was 80%. Consideration is given to the possibility of providing permanent contraception by sterilization to those patients who by reason of age or parity no longer desire future pregnancies.
