Parents and Family Planning Services focuses on parents of a sample
of newborns in twelve areas of England and Wales during the 1970s.
The parents were asked about their contraceptive practices,
attitudes toward different methods of birth control, and opinions
of-and experience with-different types of services. General
practitioners, health visitors, and doctors at family planning
clinics were interviewed about their views and practices. This
juxtaposition of the attitudes of parents and professionals
highlights the reasons why people do not use effective methods of
birth control, and leads to suggestions as to how they could be
helped to do so. Several chapters discuss fathers' attitudes and
actions, the views of parents and professionals, and the influence
of religion, social class, education, and geographic location. The
final chapter is concerned with possible changes in contraceptive
habits, and the ways in which services can develop to help more
women avoid unwanted pregnancies. The work has ongoing policy
implications, and also indicates how attitudes and change evolve
over time. Parents and Family Planning Services is predicated on
the assumption that unwanted fertility is to be avoided. It
underscores the need for a proliferation of different sorts of
services: more clinics, an increase in the help and advice given at
hospitals, the development of a supportive and integrated home
service. This volume is a significant contribution to the
literature in this vital field. It remains essential reading for
both professionals and concerned policy personnel, particularly
those interested in the evolution of policy and practice.
