Between 1995 and 2000, nearly 700,000 women died and many more experienced illness, injury, and disability as a result of unintended pregnancy. Children born from unplanned conception are at greater risk of low birth weight, of being abused, and of not receiving sufficient resources for healthy development. A wider range of contraceptive options is needed to address the changing needs of the populations of the world across the reproductive life cycle, but this unmet need has not been a major priority of the research community and pharmaceutical industry. New Frontiers in Contraceptive Research: A Blueprint for Action , a new report from the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, identifies priority areas for research to develop new contraceptives. The report highlights new technologies and approaches to biomedical research, including genomics and proteomics, which hold particular promise for developing new products. It also identifies impediments to drug development that must be addressed. Research sponsors, both public and private, will find topics of interest among the recommendations, which are diverse but interconnected and important for improving the range of contraceptive products, their efficacy, and their acceptability. 606 $aContraception$xResearch 606 $aBirth control$xResearch 615 0$aContraception$xResearch. 615 0$aBirth control$xResearch. 676 $a613.9/4/072 701 $aNass$b Sharyl J$0857626 701 $aStrauss$b Jerome F$g(Jerome Frank),$cIII,$f1947-$01746133 712 02$aInstitute of Medicine (U.S.).$bCommittee on New Frontiers in Contraceptive Research. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966019903321 996 $aNew frontiers in contraceptive research$94369113 997 $aUNINA
