Identify several broad methods of contraception. Name a specific technique illustrating each method. Identify what impacts someone's best choice for a contraception method.

What will be an ideal response?


There are many methods of contraception, including barrier methods (condom or diaphragm), hormonal methods (pills, patches, and implants), intrauterine methods (IUD), surgical methods (vasectomy and tubal ligation), and fertility awareness methods (natural family planning). The method that is best for someone depends on their need for convenience, comfort, and desired effectiveness rates. Most methods work well with perfect use (which means you use it correctly every time), but people often only achieve typical use (not using any method because of inconvenience, etc.), which lends itself to higher failure rates.
