[Contraception and antenatal care (author's transl)].

Taking a representative sample selected from 11,220 deliveries the authors set out to study the interrelationship between contraception, antenatal care and socio-cultural factors. They show that there is a liaison between the first two variables even taking account of the socio-cultural factors which were found. This result leads to the conclusion that the spread of contraceptive information brings with it an improvement in the statistics for perinatal results.
