Towards a new classification of contraceptive methods for a better  sustainable development. A global bioethical approach

Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 3.7 and 5.6 aim to achieve universal access  to  sexual  and  reproductive  health  services  and  rights by 2030. These services include family planning, in particular contraception. According to un statistics,  the  use  of  modern  contraceptive methods  far  exceeds  that  of traditional  methods.  However,  this  division between “modern” and “traditional” seems to have several inconsistencies. Based on a global bioethical approach, this article aims to propose a new classification of contraceptive methods. The need for complete and accurate information on family planning, and the involvement of both partners in contraceptive decisions, are key takeaways.

The origin of physicians’ positive attitudes towards drug advertising: a reflection for educators and medical students

The available evidence shows that medical students are prematurely related to drug advertising. This relationship generates a phenomenon called “socialization”, where students naturally cooperate with the pharmaceutical industry. Therefore, the objective of the present review is to investigate socialization as an origin of the positive attitude towards drug advertising during professional practice. Through a review under prism methodology, the academic literature in English and Spanish from January 2019 to June 2024 was analyzed, obtaining three emerging situations: 1) negative impact of drug advertising to the health system; 2) socialization in medical students; and 3) lack of university regulatory policies. It is concluded that socialization generates a positive attitude towards drug advertising during medical education and professional practice.
