Depo-Provera
Sir, — One part of the article by Karren Beanland (“The Press,” July 7) appears to suggest that the Family Planning Association prescribe methods of contraception in order to study the reactions of the users. This is quite incorrect. People attending the clinic decide, with medical help, on the method of contraception most suited to them. The reactions of the various groups may then be studied and compared, as in the New Zealand Contraception and Health Study. The existence or otherwise of an on-going study has never been a criterion for encouraging anyone to choose a particular method of contraception in the New Zealand Family Planning Association. — Yours, etc., HELEN McGILL,. Senior Medical Officer. The Family Planning Centre. July 12, 1983.
