This seventh edition has been completely revised and updated,
incorporating relevant WHO and national guidance documents:
therefore imparting best evidence-based practice for all methods.
Combined oral contraceptives (COCs) Based on the long-established
evidence that 7 days of routinely not-taking pills in each cycle is
too long for maintained ovarian suppression - and this necessarily
leads to too little margin for errors in pill-taking - the authors
recommend that providers switch to a new norm for all users of
either: Tricycling, the 84/4 regimen, or totally continuous use

In this collection of firsthand accounts by those who knew Cesar
Chavez best, a portrait of an uncommonly complex man, both driven
and focused, yet humble, empathic and exceedingly principled,
emerges. The reader gains an understanding of the yoke Chavez chose
to place upon his own shoulders, as well as the ideals he employed
to accomplish for the migrant farmworkers what many predicted would
be impossible. The more than 45 contributors range from the
famous--Edward James Olmos, Henry Cisneros, Martin Sheen, Coretta
Scott King, Jerry Brown and others--to members of the Chavez
family, to UFW staff, to the farmworkers themselves. Illustrated by
the compelling black and white photographs of George Elfie Ballis,
who began photographing the farmworker movement in the 1950s.
Used by over 200 million women since the 1960s, the Pill is one of
the most commonly prescribed medicines--and has repeatedly been
established as one of the least harmful ever formulated. However,
there are some risks, and a number of "Pill Scares" have been
reported in the media--often causing women to give up the Pill
without finding a satisfactory alternative.
More choices are now available than ever to users of hormonal
contraception, and it can be difficult for doctors or family
planning workers to find the time for detailed discussion with
existing or new users.
Women of all ages, whether they are existing users of or new to
hormonal contraception, will find realistic, practical, and
trustworthy guidance in this book to help them to make their own
informed decisions. It will also be indispensable to health
professionals as a concise, balanced overview. Thise user-friendly
book contains extensive and unbiases advice and information on the
Pill, along with other hormonal alternatives such as implants,
injections, and patches.
