13-19 February

Background

Contraceptive Awareness Week is owned by fpa and was initiated in 1997 to raise awareness of the different methods of contraception and issues affecting contraceptive choice.

2006 campaign

The campaign will raise awareness about long-acting reversible methods of contraception (LARC): the IUD, IUS, implant and injection. Long-acting methods are defined as those that do not have to be thought about on a regular basis or do not rely on the user for their effectiveness.

Visit the Family Planning Association website for more details and lots of advice on contraception and family planning.
