U.S. organized family planning programs in FY 1974

Most organized family planning programs combine the delivery of contraceptive services with a wide range of preventive health services. An estimated 3.3 million women, 97 percent of all who received family planning services in organized programs in FY 1974, received one or more medical services. At least 2.7 mission women received each of the 'core' medical services recommended by DHEW -- pap smear, blood pressure and pelvic and breast examinations. About 2.4 million women were tested for VD; 2.1 million women received urinalyses and 1.9 million received blood tests. Other services provided included pregnancy testing, infertility workup, and rubella and sickle cell screening.
