Family planning is the planning of when to have children,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mission Statement )〕 and the use of birth control〔〔 and other techniques to implement such plans. Other techniques commonly used include sexuality education,〔〔 prevention and management of sexually transmitted infections,〔(What services do family planning clinics provide? — Health Questions — NHS Direct )〕 pre-conception counseling〔 and management, and infertility management.〔(Family planning ) — WHO〕 Family planning is sometimes used as a synonym or euphemism for the use of birth control, however, it often includes a wide variety of methods, and practices that are not birth control. It is most usually applied to a female-male couple who wish to limit the number of children they have and/or to control the timing of pregnancy (also known as ''spacing children''). Family planning may encompass sterilization, as well as abortion.〔See, e.g., Mischell, D. R. "Family planning: contraception, sterilization, and pregnancy termination." In: Katz, V. L., Lentz, G. M., Lobo, R. A., Gershenson, D. M., eds. ''Comprehensive Gynecology''. 5th ed. Philadelphia, PA: Mosby Elsevier; 2007:chap 14.〕 Family planning services are defined as "educational, comprehensive medical or social activities which enable individuals, including minors, to determine freely the number and spacing of their children and to select the means by which this may be achieved".〔(US Dept. of Health, Administration for children and families )〕 ==Purposes== Raising a child requires significant amounts of resources: time,〔 social, financial,〔(MsMoney.com — Marriage, Kids & College — Family Planning )〕 and environmental. Planning can help assure that resources are available. The purpose of family planning is to make sure that any couple, man, or woman who has the desire to have a child has the resources that are needed in order to complete this goal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/OFP/Pages/default.aspx )〕 With these resources a couple, man or women can explore the options of natural birth, surrogacy, artificial insemination, or adoption. In the other case, if the person does not wish to have a child at the specific time, they can investigate the resources that are needed to prevent pregnancy, such as birth control, contraceptives, or physical protection and prevention. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「family planning」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
