The survey studied Finnish women's opinions and experiences on family planning services. The aim of the research was to chart possible problems with the family planning system of the time, and to gather useful information for improving the services. The study was conducted by researchers of the National Research and Development Centre for Welfare and Health (STAKES) in collaboration with researchers from the University of Tampere and the University of Kuopio.

The respondents were asked about the birth control methods they used, the costs of these methods, and whether the costs had affected their use of such methods. Familiarity with different birth control methods was charted. The respondents were also asked how often they had visited a health care professional due to matters related to birth control during the past year. Opinions on which type of health care professional the respondents would like to visit in birth control related issues were probed. The respondents were also asked questions about their last visit to a health care professional in birth control related matters.
