In 1980, a study to determine interest in and access to sterilization for females was initiated at two Ministry of Health hospitals in Honduras. Results of the baseline study showed that 42 percent of women desiring sterilization from the Tegucigalpa hospital and 21 percent from the San Pedro Sula hospital had had a tubal ligation. A second study was conducted two years later, following up the interested but unsterilized women from the baseline study. Results show that 33 percent of women in the Tegucigalpa group, compared to 15 percent in the San Pedro Sula group, had been sterilized. Part of this difference can be attributed to an increase in sterilization facilities in Tegucigalpa over the two years after the baseline study was conducted. Among the major reasons women gave for not having been sterilized were financial and time constraints. Over the two-year period, the authors estimate that, of women interested in sterilization at delivery, 52 percent in total were sterilized in Tegucigalpa and 29 percent in San Pedro Sula.
1980年，在洪都拉斯的两家卫生部医院开展了一项关于女性绝育意愿及绝育途径的研究。基线研究结果显示，特古西加尔巴医院有42%希望绝育的女性以及圣佩德罗苏拉医院有21%希望绝育的女性接受了输卵管结扎术。两年后进行了第二项研究，对基线研究中感兴趣但未绝育的女性进行随访。结果显示，特古西加尔巴组有33%的女性已绝育，而圣佩德罗苏拉组这一比例为15%。这种差异部分可归因于在基线研究开展后的两年里，特古西加尔巴的绝育设施有所增加。女性给出的未进行绝育的主要原因包括经济和时间限制。在这两年期间，作者估计，在分娩时有意绝育的女性中，特古西加尔巴总计有52%的女性进行了绝育，圣佩德罗苏拉为29%。
