Question
State two methods of contraception, one a barrier method and one which is not a barrier method. For each method named give two advantages and one disadvantage of the method.
Solution
A barrier method—the condom.
Non-barrier—the contraceptive pill.
Advantages of the condom include the fact that it is readily available, needs no medical supervision, can help reduce the transmission of venereal diseases. A disadvantage is that it is not the most reliable method. Advantages of the contraceptive pill are that it is highly reliable if taken according to instructions and that a woman can take responsibility for her own fertility. A disadvantage is that it should be taken under medical supervision as there is a small risk of side effects.
