  • Summary

    Medical research is the basis of better health for the world’s people.Family planning provides among the best examples of the powerful association between research and health.Modern contraception and safer abortion are direct products of fifty years of basic and clinical, laboratory and population-based, research.Over the past 20 years training specifically for contraception and abortion research has created a “new generation” of investigators who are building the “evidence-base” for contraceptive and abortion care.This chapter identifies some of the most important contributions of the graduates of “The Fellowship in Family Planning” and their colleagues at leading medical schools and hospitals, WHO, CDC and other research organizations.It describes their training in research methods and the impact it has had on clinical practice and women’s health worldwide.
