Birth control services
August 22, 2008
It has been a proved global fact that more and more women around the world are adopting contraceptives services, such as birth control pill.
It has been estimated in USA that from 1995 to 2002, the percentage of women who availed contraceptive services increased from 36 percent to 41 percent.
The total percentage of women receiving all kinds of sexual and reproductive health care services included not only birth control services but they also received services as STD testing and Pap tests. The survey findings are positive and there is a scope of improvement.
The National Survey of Family Growth was done, to detect configuration and tendency of the use of sexual and reproductive health care services. The surveys were based on the in-home interrogation of women between 15 to 44 years of age who were inquired if they had received the 13 specific services in the past 12 months.
While 76 percent of the women stated they availed services from private health care providers, and one-fourth percentage said they consulted the public clinics. It was made evident by the survey that the publicly funded clinics offered a broader range of services.
It was another finding that women overall received more contraceptive services.
The publicly funded clinics were more in demand for low-income women and also provided wider range of services.
It was found that there were still a lot of women not able to get all the services they need.
Rather they received services from private doctors. Thus, the findings of the survey suggest that private health professionals have diverted their focus on the contraceptive needs of women.
Private health-care providers should follow recommendations from public clinics. There is no denying the fact that publicly funded clinics have primarily focused on the contraceptive access, pregnancy testing, and STD-related care for women.
