Back to Family Planning.

* This question was asked of female respondents who reported being ages 18-44 years old and not pregnant,
of male respondents who reported being ages 18-59 years old and did not report having tubes tied or vasectomy.

#Use caution in interpreting cell sizes less than 50. N = Cell Size, % = Percentage, C.I.(95%) = Confidence Interval (at 95 percent probability level).
Percentages are weighted to population characteristics.

* See Technical Notes for definitions of risk factors/conditions.
