Abstract
Responses to questionnaire interviews of 73 men who had undergone vasectomies are discussed, and summary tables presented. The questions cover personal characteristics, the operation itself, motivational factors, and outcome of the operation. Analysis of the outcome includes pre-and postoperative physical health; sexual behavior; psychosocial adjustment factors- including marital, job, and community relationships and concern over children; satisfaction with the operation; and social behavior with regard to the operation. On most of these questions the respondent was also asked to evaluate his wife''s condition, behavior, or attitude. Medical aspects of the vasectomy and postoperative sperm tests are also discussed.
