PIP: A study is presented of 64 Danish physicians who gave contraceptive counseling. 3 journals were kept for each patient: a journal containing biographic data and an anamnesis, a control journal, and a journal for those patients who discontinued contraceptive use. Most of the participating physicians were 40-49 years old, were male, and had private practice. Most of the doctors had practices consisting of city dwellers. 3726 patients were counseled in 1 year. Women doctors gave comparatively more counseling than men. The amount of contraceptive counseling given in this project is not representative of doctors for the entire country of Denmark. A 4-fold increase in contraceptive counseling, due to revisions of the pregnancy hygiene law in 1966, is evident.^ieng
