Birth control clinics in the city of Birmingham—A geographical study

Abstract

The development of birth control facilities in Birmingham is described. Using wards as the basic unit, the number of women “at risk” in 1971 is compared with a 10% sample of all women registering at the birth control clinics in that year. The occupations, marital status, and age of the clients are described. Finally the clients of the organisations are compared and differences between them are explained.
