Data from the 1991 National Survey of Men indicate that about 12% of married men aged 20-39 have had a vasectomy and about 13% are married to a woman who is sterilized. Multivariate analyses indicate that the likelihood of sterilization rises with husband's age, wife's age, duration of marriage and number of children. Black couples are significantly less likely than white couples to rely on sterilization, and interracial couples are less likely than same-race couples to be sterilized. The likelihood of reliance on vasectomy rather than tubal ligation also rises with husband's age, while black men are significantly less likely than white men to elect male over female sterilization. Use of male sterilization is strongly associated with having had a recent contraceptive failure while using a male method.
1991年全国男性调查数据显示，年龄在20至39岁的已婚男性中，约12%做了输精管切除术，约13%的妻子做了绝育手术。多变量分析表明，绝育的可能性随着丈夫年龄、妻子年龄、婚姻持续时间和子女数量的增加而上升。黑人夫妇比白人夫妇依赖绝育的可能性显著更低，异族通婚夫妇比同种族夫妇绝育的可能性更低。选择输精管切除术而非输卵管结扎术的可能性也随着丈夫年龄的增加而上升，而黑人男性比白人男性选择男性绝育而非女性绝育的可能性显著更低。男性绝育的使用与最近使用男性避孕方法时避孕失败密切相关。
