- "Contraceptive Research and Development: Looking to the Future"
[ executive summary | order form | entire text online ]
Polly F. Harrison and Allan Rosenfield, Editors
National Academy Press; 1996
This study began with three questions. The first was: Is there really a need for new contraceptives and, if so, why?
The second was: If, as has been said, the field of contraceptive research and development has somehow lost the energy that characterized it at the time of what is called the "first contraceptive revolution," are there new prospects in the science that could reenergize it?
The third was: Given such prospects, would they be sufficient to accomplish that revitalization? The committee sensed early in its deliberations that, as exciting as scientific opportunity might prove to be, the climate for development would constrain it. Thus, the committee opted not only to explore the prospects in the new science, but to examine the context for collaboration between the public and private sectors that would be essential to meeting the need and demand for new contraceptive options.

Various methods of contraception are available in the United States today, including condoms for men and women; spermicidal foams, gels, and vaginal films; diaphragms and cervical caps; the Pill; IUDs; and fertility awareness methods that rely on periodic abstinence.

"Medical Care Cost Savings From Adolescent Contraceptive Use"
James Trussell, Jaqueline Koenig, Felicia Stewart and Jacqueline E. Darroch
Family Planning Perspectives; November/December 1997; Volume 29, No. 6
Using models developed for an earlier study, we compare the direct medical costs of contraceptive use among female adolescents aged 15-19 with costs for all women aged 15-44. The methodology used in that study is described in detail elsewhere. Included in the models are the cost of using the method (required physician visits or supplies), the cost of treating negative side effects (as well as the cost avoided due to beneficial side effects such as cancer prevention) and the cost of the unintended pregnancies (births, spontaneous abortions, induced abortions and ectopic pregnancies) that occur during typical use of the method.
