The fertility transition in Cuba and the Federal Republic of Korea: the impact of organised family planning

Potts M, Noble J

Journal of Biosocial Science, 1996

South Korea and Cuba are dissimilar in religion, economy, culture and attitudes toward premarital sexual relations. In 1960, Korea instituted a national family planning programme to combat rapid population growth. Cuba explicitly rejected Malthusian policies, but made family planning universally available in 1974 in response to health needs. Both countries have undergone rapid fertility declines and today have less than replacement level fertility. Both countries have also used a similar mixture of methods, including a high prevalence of female sterilisation. Abortion has played a major role in the fertility decline of both countries, rising in the first half of the fertility transition and then falling, although remaining a significant variable in the second half. It is concluded that access to contraception, voluntary sterilisation, and safe abortion has a direct impact on fertility and has been associated with a rapid fall in family size in two very different countries.

Should oral contraceptives be available without prescription?

Trussell J, Stewart F, Potts M, Guest F, Ellertson C

American Journal of Public Health, 1993

In this paper, it is argued that oral contraceptives should be available without prescription. Prescription status entails heavy costs, including the dollar, time, and psychological costs of visiting a physician to obtain a prescription, the financial and human costs of unintended pregnancies that result from the obstacle to access caused by medicalization of oral contraceptives, and administrative costs to the health care system.

The impact of maternal health improvement on perinatal survival: cost-effective alternatives

Walsh J, Measham A, Feifer C, Gertler P

International Journal of Health Planning and Management, 1994

This article explores the impact of maternal health on perinatal survival. When pregnant women have complications, their infants are at greater risk of becoming ill, permanently disabled or dying. Low cost, feasible, and effective intervention strategies include: a) improved family planning and abortion services; b) obstetric care at delivery; and, c) prenatal services.
