In May 1976 the contraceptive practices of New Zealand women were surveyed among a national random probability sample of 1200 women aged 15 years and over. The survey found 93 percent of women aged 15-44 years considered themselves at risk of pregnancy. Of all women surveyed, almost half (two-thirds of those at risk) currently practised contraception. The highest incidence was among women aged 25-44 years. Single women at risk contracepted less frequently than did married women. The most frequently used method was the contraceptive pill, favoured particularly by younger women. It was followed by sterilisation of either partner, which was most frequent among women aged 25-44 years.
1976年5月，在新西兰全国范围内对1200名15岁及以上女性进行随机概率抽样，调查她们的避孕措施。调查发现，15至44岁的女性中有93%认为自己有怀孕风险。在所有接受调查的女性中，近一半（有风险女性的三分之二）目前采取避孕措施。发病率最高的是25至44岁的女性。有风险的单身女性采取避孕措施的频率低于已婚女性。最常用的方法是避孕药，尤其受年轻女性青睐。其次是伴侣绝育，这在25至44岁的女性中最为常见。
