Government study planned on long term risks of birth control pills
Researchers plan a 10 year study of up to 20 000 American women to assess long term health risks from oral birth control pills and other artificial contraceptives. The project, funded by the Public Health Service and run by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, follows calls by health officials for evidence on cancer and clot risks, while noting some studies hint possible protective effects.
