| Abstract: | Trends in prescribing habits at the clinics, as well as the prevalence of different contraceptive methods and the characteristics of users were studied from four hundred and fifty-six case histories, selected at random, of patients attending the clinics in different localities. The following data were obtained from each file: age; marital status; parity; occupation (of both patient and spouse/partner); social history; family history; medical history; contraceptive method currently in use and contraceptive history; problems experienced with current contraceptive method and reasons for discontinuing previous methods. These result were compared to statistics obtained from a similar study carried out in 1986 (Rizzo Naudi; 1988) on 559 patients attending the Paola Family Welfare Clinic. |
