Research
During the past century enormous advances in family planning have been achieved, among the most important include availability of contraceptive methods, legal abortion and assisted reproductive techniques. With these advances new factors become increasingly important in the family planning decisions made by the woman and the couple. My research deals mainly with areas of family planning where changing attitudes of the new century are likely to affect the outcome of our family planning interventions.
