About this Site
Thank you for visiting the Cochrane Fertility Regulation Group Register.
The Cochrane Group on Fertility Regulation addresses the process by which people regulate their fertility, family size and spacing of births. The Group reviews:
- Abortion and post-abortion care.
- Contraception.
- How people make and implement choices in terms of family planning and reproductive life planning.
- How people obtain and use family planning information.
- Issues relating to collaborative decision making and policy development processes.
- The delivery of contraceptive services (its effectiveness, accessibility and acceptability).
- The effectiveness and safety of fertility-regulating methods; this includes drugs, devices, sterilization, natural family planning, breastfeeding and termination of pregnancy.
This register contains records on these contraception and abortion topic areas, to help health care providers, policymakers and the public (including patients, their advocates and caregivers) make well-informed decisions about health care, based on the best available research evidence. We hope to reach fellows, providers, consumers, researchers and anyone with interest in this field.
