1. Reproductive Health and Safety Education
Lesson 4:
FDA Approved Methods of Contraceptives
All information taken from
The FDA’s Birth Control Guide
Found Here
Today is going to be one of the last days for our reproductive health and safety education unit. Today’s topic is going to be FDA Approved Methods of Contraceptives. At no point and time will any of the contraceptives be demonstrated.
At some point in this section of the reproductive health and safety unit either assign the Cost of a Baby work sheet or go to the library to complete it.

2. Lesson Objectives Understand the meaning of abstinence
Recognizing FDA approved contraceptives
Differentiate between the various methods of contraceptive
Understand the failure rates and effectiveness of various contraceptives
Today’s objectives are to understand the meaning of abstinence while recognizing FDA approved contraceptives. By the end of this class lesson you should be able to differentiate between the various contraceptives.

3. Ground Rules Only one person speaks at a time
Be respectful of peers and teacher
We are free to express our opinion or to participate in activities without being subjected to judgment or criticism
While participation is encouraged, each person has the right to pass
We do not share personal information or ask that of others
Each person comes prepared to each class
Use correct terminology
Okay class, lets remember the ground rules that we developed yesterday as a class. Be respectful of each other’s questions and comments. Due to the sensitivity of the topic please refrain from inappropriate comments, words or gestures. Some discussion may make you uncomfortable. I will try to answer each of you questions; however there are some questions that can be better answered privately or by your parents.

4. Question Box
Class you can place questions in the box to be answered throughout the unit. Some questions may be better answered privately or by your parents. Remember that we want to maintain a mature and respectful classroom environment and if a question is inappropriate to the class then it will not be read.

5. Review Yesterday’s Work
PAIR/SHARE – with a person next to you discuss the answers to these questions
How would you differentiate between chlamydia and gonnorehea?
How can you describe the difference between bacterial and viral STIs?
How is abstinence related to being 100% free from contracting an STI?
Partner up with the person next to you and complete a quick pair/share utilizing the three topics on the board.

6. So… What is it? IUD Intrauterine Device
Class has any of you seen this device before?
What do you think it is?
Well, It’s an intrauterine device or IUD. We will be learning more about it in today’s lesson.
Intrauterine Device

7. Journal Question Self reflection:
How safe are you from contracting an STI? Defend your answer.
If most STIs are asymptomatic (no symptoms) how does that impact the control and treatment of them?
(Homework Question) Ask your parents/guardians or trusted adult. What do you remember about the message teens received about pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease prevention when you were in high school?
Now please take out your class journals and open to the next blank page. Record these questions and answer them as best you can. Please note that there is a homework question that you will need to discuss with your parent and/or guardian. The homework is due tomorrow, so please remember to talk to them tonight.

9. Seven Methods of Birth Control
Abstinence
Barrier Method
Hormonal Method
Emergency Contraception
Implanted Devices
Permanent Methods for Women
Permanent Methods of Men
There are seven FDA approved methods of birth control. The barrier method, the hormonal method, emergency contraceptive, implanted devices, permanent methods for women, permanent methods for men, and abstinence. Today we are going to learn about each of these method.

10. FDA Pre/Post Assessment
At this time pass out the blank version of the FDA Birth Control Guide
Students should fill in the first two columns
Column 1 – Methods (the next slide provides a list)
Column 2 – Number of pregnancies expected per 100 women
Notice that you should put lease effective at the bottom and most effective at the top.

11. Abstinence
Abstinence from sexual activity is the only certain means of avoiding unplanned pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases when transmitted through sexual contact, including HIV/AIDS, and other associated health and emotional problems
Abstinence from sexual activity is the only certain means of avoiding unplanned pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases when transmitted through sexual contact, including HIV/AIDS, and other associated health and emotional problems

12. Abstinence
Abstinence from sexual activity is the expected standard for school aged children
Cited in NC law.

13. Advantages of Abstinence
Delaying the onset of sexual activity provides healthier outcomes.
Decreased # of lifetime partners
Decreased risk of contracting a STI/STD
Decreased risk of unplanned pregnancy
Decreased risk of hurt emotions and mental angst
Decreased risk of forming a “reputation”
Decreased risk of being in an abusive/controlling relationship
Increased opportunity that you will finish high school and be free to pursue your life goals!

14. No form of contraceptive will be demonstrated or disseminated.
Choosing abstinence is the safest choice for students.
