Aims of the researchers were to develop an birth control empowerment program (BCEP) designed to help married immigrant women in Korea to plan their pregnancies.METHODS:
This study was as a randomized controlled trial to verify the effects of the BCEP. The BCEP was developed based on Falk-Rafael (2001)'s Empowerment caring model.

The eligible participants were randomly assigned to either experimental group (n=23) or control group (n=23).RESULTS:
Participants in the intervention group had significantly better outcomes in contraceptive knowledge (p<.001), contraceptive self-efficacy (p=.014), perceived contraceptive control (p<.001), sex-related spousal communication (p<.001), and sexual autonomy (p=.009).CONCLUSION:
The BCEP was effective intervention method, which can promote family planning practices among married immigrant women.
