The only completely effective form of Birth Control is to not have vaginal intercourse. There are other pleasurable forms of sex that do not risk conception, but that is an answer for another question. Surgical means such as a male vasectomy or female tubal ligation are considered permanent options, but may sometimes be reversed. Chemical or surgical sterilization is an infrequently chosen option due to side effects. The proper use of a condom combined with compatible other forms of contraception are considered the best temporary measure. The diaphragm is slightly less reliable. Contraceptive implants, IUDs, and birth control pills when taken properly are quite effective. Pulling out, or the rhythm method may reduce the likelihood of a pregnancy but are not considered reliable or effective birth control. Folk methods such as having sex standing up, other positions, sex in water, or several things a woman may do after sex have not been shown to reduce likelihood of pregnancy. The exception is emergency contraception. Often called the morning after pill, it can be taken up to 5 days after intercourse, but the sooner you take it following sex the better chance it will be effective in preventing a pregnancy. This is not the same as RU486, mifepristone, also called the abortion pill. Not legal in all areas, mifepristone causes the termination(abortion) of very early term pregnancy.
Pulling out just on time; condom is your next best and help you not getting any nesty infections.

Is birth control the most effective form of birth control?

The question makes no sense - of course birth control is the most effective method of birth control. And the best form of birth control is to use two methods at once. Either a hormonal form such as the pill, patch, or vaginal ring and a condom, which also prevents the spread of disease. Avoid quack methods like the "pull-out" method (pre-ejaculate does contain sperm even before the man ejaculates) and other wacky ideas.
