A self-administered questionnaire was answered by nearly 300 surgically sterilized men and over 200 such women 6 weeks after their surgery. Nearly half of these Americans were from large families. More women than men reported a history of medical, gynecologic, or psychiatric problems; one half had been pregnant four or more times; one third reported recent pregnancy. Most sterilized people reported an unsatisfactory contraceptive history. Despite that women had more complications from the procedure than men, improved psychosocial adjustment between 6 weeks before and 6 weeks after sterilization was reported by more women than men.
一份自填式问卷由近300名接受外科绝育手术的男性和200多名接受此类手术的女性在术后6周作答。这些美国人中近一半来自大家庭。报告有医学、妇科或精神问题病史的女性比男性更多；一半女性曾怀孕四次或更多次；三分之一女性报告近期怀孕。大多数绝育者报告避孕史不理想。尽管女性手术并发症比男性多，但报告绝育前6周和绝育后6周心理社会适应状况改善的女性比男性更多。
