Birth Control vs. Contraception

Percentage of U.S. Women Ages 15-44 
Using Contraception and Reasons
Figure 5-1 Percentage distribution of women aged 15 to 49 years, by current 
contraceptive status: United States, 2015-2017.
Data from Daniels, K., Abma, J.C. (2018). Current contraceptive status among women aged 15-49: United States, 2015-2017. NCHS Data Brief, no 327.

Legal Perspectives of Birth 
Control• Griswold v. Connecticut (1965)
• Mandated coverage for contraception for 
federal employees via an act of Congress 
(1998)
• All new health insurance plans must cover all 
FDA-approved methods of birth control, 
sterilization, and related education and 
counseling without cost sharing (2010).

 

 

Race and Religion Also Influence 
Contraception Use

aged 15-49 who were currently using 
female sterilization, oral contraceptive 
pill, male condom, or LARCs, by

Fertility Awareness Methods
“Free, no equipment necessary, but not 
reliable”
Calendar method
• Avoidance of intercourse during fertile time of month by 
calculating time of ovulation 
Basal body temperature
• Fertility cycle related to changes in basal body 
temperature
Cervical mucus or ovulation method
• Fertility cycle related to variations in type of cervical 
mucus

 

 

Pros vs. Cons of Fertility 
Awareness Methods
Pros Cons
❑ No side effects
❑ Used by anyone
❑ Cost-effective
❑ Limited effectiveness
❑ Need to abstain from 
sexual intercourse 
certain days/month
❑ No protection from 
STIs

 

 

Birth Control Pills
• Most commonly used 
form of contraceptive
• 99% effective
• Suppresses a 
woman’s 
reproductive 
hormone cycle

Oral Contraceptives
Used by 16% of women aged 15-44 years
Pros Cons
❑ Lighter and less painful 
periods
❑ Reduced PMS 
symptoms
❑ Improved skin
❑ Protection against 
ovarian and endometrial 
cancers, ovarian cysts, 
benign breast disease, 
and PID
❑ Mood changes
❑ Spotting
❑ Weight changes
❑ Drug interactions 
❑ Decreased libido

❑ Fluid retention
❑ Health risks for some 
women

 

 

Hormone Delivery Methods
Depo-Provera
• Injectable progestin every 3 months
Contraceptive patch (Xulane)
• Patch worn on skin for 1-week intervals; fourth week is 
patch-free
NuvaRing
• Flexible, plastic ring inserted into the upper vagina and 
worn for 3 weeks; removed during week of 
menstruation

 

 

Barrier Methods (1 of 5)
Spermicides
Figure 5-4 Spermicidal agents.

 

 

Barrier Methods (2 of 5)
Diaphragm, cervical cap
• Dome-shaped latex cup sealing cervix
Figure 5-5 Diaphragm Figure 5-6 Cervical cap.

 

 

Barrier Methods (3 of 5)
Condoms
Figure 5-7 Condom use

 

 

Barrier Methods (4 of 5)
Female condoms
• Polyurethane sheath lining entire vagina and external 
genitals
Figure 5-8 The internal condom.

 

 

Barrier Methods (5 of 5)
Pros Cons
• Condoms offer protection 
from STIs.
• Can be used as backup 
for pill users (or with other 
methods)
• Can be used for the short 
or long term
• Small risk of bacterial 
infection or toxic shock 
syndrome for diaphragm, 
sponge, and cervical cap
• Must be used properly
• May have higher long-
term costs

 

 

Intrauterine Device (IUD)
• Small object inserted 
by clinician into a 
woman’s uterus
• Effectiveness is 
superior to that of pills, 
patch, or ring
An IUD is a small object placed in the 
uterus through the cervix by a 
clinician.

Permanent Methods
Female sterilization
• Tubal ligation = fallopian tubes cut and tied
– Laparoscopic sterilization
– Minilaparotomy
– Essure
Male sterilization
• Vasectomy = vas deferens cut and tied

 

 

Other Forms of Contraception
Abstinence
• No penis-in-vagina intercourse
Withdrawal
• Coitus interruptus
Breastfeeding
• Lactational amenorrhea method (LAM)

 

 

Emergency Contraception (EC)
• NOT the same as RU-486, otherwise known as 
“the abortion pill”
• Use of high-dose birth control pills taken within 
72 hours of unprotected sex
• Plan B = progestin-only form of emergency 
contraception
• ella = another form of emergency contraception 
available by prescription
 

 

 

Failure Rates
A failure rate is the chance that the average 
couple using a given birth control method will 
become pregnant in a given year.
• Failure rates can be either for “perfect use” (ideal 
conditions) or “actual use” (failure rate in the real world)
• Failure rates range from less than 1% to 30%.
• Condoms, sponges, and diaphragms have the largest 
difference between these rates.

 

 

Contraceptive Failure
• High rates of effectiveness—oral 
contraceptives, hormone injectables and 
implants, IUDs, condoms, vaginal hormonal 
ring, hormone patch, sterilization
• Lower rates of effectiveness—diaphragms, 
cervical caps, sponges, spermicidal agents, 
fertility awareness methods, rhythm method, 
withdrawal

 

 

Handling an Unplanned 
Pregnancy
• Adoption—can be “open” or “closed”; private 
or public
• Abortion

A controversial issue of debate or a very common 
medical procedure?

• Risks and benefits of method
• Reevaluate periodically

6:  Sexual Health

Sexual Health Defined:
“A state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-
being related to sexuality; it is not merely the absence of 
disease, dysfunction or infirmity. Sexual health requires a 
positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexualelationships, as well as the possibility of having 
pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of 
coercion, discrimination, and violence. For sexual health 
to be attained and maintained, the sexual rights of all 
persons must be respected, protected, and fulfilled.”

2002, Geneva, Switzerland: WHO. Available at: http://www.who.int/reproductivehealth/publications/en/
