Medical advances in sterilization procedures (3) and perhaps a greater willingness of unmarried women to adopt this method (4) have contributed to a rise in tubal sterilization compared with vasectomy: Among women relying on contraceptive sterilization, the proportion who were protected by tubal sterilization (rather than by their partner's vasectomy) increased steadily from 68% in 1982 to 72% in 1995.
