“…We assessed attitudes toward vasectomy using 33 items thought to impact the perceived acceptability of having a vasectomy. Items were developed by the authors or based on work by Hernandez-Aguilera and Marván (2015 , 2016 ). All attitude questions used a 5-point Likert scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree .…”

“…The questionnaire measured men's vasectomy knowledge, attitudes, and information-seeking behaviors. The questionnaire was informed by a literature review, which revealed no known survey of these constructs in the United States, although related work was recently conducted in Mexico (Hernandez-Aguilera & Marván, 2015, 2016. Drawing on this research in Mexico, information gathered from the literature, and consultations with the coauthors, the first author developed a questionnaire consisting of items querying vasectomy knowledge, attitudes, and information seeking, as well as demographic information.…”

Vasectomy is one of the few options men have to manage their reproductive capacity and take on a more equitable role in pregnancy prevention. While the method is underused throughout the United States, the southern states have a lower prevalence rate compared to the rest of the country. Existing survey research does not assess what men know or think about the procedure as a means of understanding why this is the case. We created and conducted an exploratory survey to assess men’s knowledge, attitudes, and information-seeking behaviors about vasectomy in the Southern United States. We used targeted Facebook advertising to recruit men ages 25–70 years living in 7 southern states to complete an online survey ( n = 397). Using regression analyses, we identify that participants who had a vasectomy knew more about the procedure than participants who had not. Participants who had not had a vasectomy had less positive attitudes about the procedure across all six attitude subscales compared to participants with vasectomies. We highlight potential avenues for future research to understand why this may be the case. Finally, the majority of participants knew someone who had had a vasectomy. This suggests that men disclose having a vasectomy to others. The interpersonal dynamics around vasectomy decision-making and disclosure remain unknown and a viable area for future research. Findings from this exploratory survey may be used by public health officials interested in implementing campaigns to increase knowledge about vasectomy and reduce stigma, which may encourage more positive attitudes about the procedure.

Objective: Identify relevant factors associated with vasectomy rejection in the male population of Chile, between 30 and 60 years. Methodology: The sample was surveyed through Google Forms, with a questionnaire that measured beliefs towards vasectomy, through a Likert-type scale. The statistical tests used were chi-square and Fisher’s exact test. Results: The most relevant factors were membership of a religious group and region of residence. Participants who did not identify with any religious group had a lower negative perception of vasectom (p = 0,0435). Conclusion: Vasectomy is prejudiced by lack of knowledge and accessibility to it. Therefore, there is an urgent need for greater dissemination of its benefits in the public and private health system, also, implement accessibility programs for men who do not intend to have children in the future.

“…1,2 Since 1994, at the International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo, an equitable role for men and women for FP was determined. 3 Likewise, at the London Summit, the need to ensure that 69 of the poorest countries in the planet would have a total coverage of FP by 2020 was determined. Notwithstanding, from the total of women in the world that wish to avoid pregnancy, 225 million do not use any contraceptive method, a phenomenon that diminishes statistics of developing countries, where there still is the belief that FP is matter that concerns exclusively women.…”
