The proceedings of the March 1993 workshop provide an overview of the role of barrier contraceptives in both birth control and the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The volume is organized into sections covering topics in barrier use, barrier research, research methodologies, and barriers and STDs. One section focuses exclusively on clinical studies on the effectiveness of barriers in preventing STDs, and the volume closes with a section featuring reports from "working groups" addressing various subjects in barrier contraception.
