چکیده
The Standard Days Method is a fertility awareness-based method of family planning in which users avoid unprotected intercourse during cycle Days 8 through 19. A prospective multi-center efficacy trial was conducted to test, in a heterogeneous population, the contraceptive efficacy of the Standard Days Method. A total of 478 women, age 18–39 years, in Bolivia, Peru, and the Philippines, with self-reported cycles of 26–32 days, desiring to delay pregnancy at least one year were admitted to the study. A single decrement multi-censoring life table analysis of the data indicate a cumulative probability of pregnancy of 4.75% over 13 cycles of correct use of the method, and a 11.96% probability of pregnancy under typical use. This article describes the study and the results. Results suggest that despite its requirement that couples modify their sexual behavior when the woman is fertile, the Standard Days Method provides significant protection from unplanned pregnancy and is acceptable to couples in a wide range of settings. © 2002 Elsevier Science Inc.

Depo-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) is an increasingly popular contraceptive choice among Navajo women. Weight gain is cited as a common side effect and major reason for discontinuation of DMPA. No controlled trials have evaluated the association between weight gain and DMPA in Navajo women. We aimed to clarify whether DMPA is associated with weight gain in Navajo women and to quantify the ...

متن کاملWeighted sequence graphs: boosting iterated dynamic programming using locally suboptimal solutions
We present a novel technique for improving a fundamental aspect of iterated dynamic programming procedures on sequences, such as progressive sequence alignment. Instead of relying on the unrealistic assumption that each iteration can be performed accurately without including information from other sequences, our technique employs the combinatorial data structure of weighted sequence graphs to r...
