title: [Family planning: a need in primary care].
abstract: The reformation of Primary Care (PC) permits a more satisfactory and coordinated approach to family planning (FP). We evaluated the profile of the potential users of FP by means of a survey of 182 females made in a Primary Care center (CAP). The most commonly used contraceptive methods were oral contraceptives (20.3%), coitus interruptus (Cl) (18%), condom (17%) and female sterilization (12.6%). 66.6% of failures were attributed to Cl. 32.25% of the intrauterine device users and 24.4% of those taking oral contraceptives reported problems. 24.7% of females were controlled in the CAP II, 19.7% by their private gynecologist, 16.5% in the municipal CP and 6% in the CAP. 30.2% of the users did not follow and type of control.
