Purpose

This study aims to understand people’s experiences with contraceptive sterilization (such as tubal ligations or vasectomies).

provide a better understanding of how individuals describe and explain their decision
making process.

well as everyday interactions with their partner, other forms of birth control, and attitudes
about gender more generally.
