Male Patient-reported influence of sociopolitical issues on post-Dobbs vasectomy decisions

JAMA Network

About The Study: 

Nearly one-third of survey participants indicated sociopolitical issues influenced their vasectomy decision, despite the fact these policies have targeted female reproductive policy. These patient-reported motivations are consistent with recent research using administrative data that found a rise in vasectomy procedure volume after the Dobbs decision.
