Recent trends in contraceptive sterilization in Flanders
Journal of Biosocial Science
|January 1, 1989
Abstract:
Elective sterilization started to spread rather late in Flanders. Despite the sharp increase of this contraceptive method since the end of the 1970s, its frequency is still lower than in many neighbouring countries and much lower than in the US and Canada, mainly due to the lag in male sterilization. Further increase in contraceptive sterilization and a greater participation of men is expected in the near future.
