註釋Interest in understanding men's contraceptive behavior has been increasing in recent years, however little research has been done to understand men's reporting of that behavior. This paper reports results from a unique experiment conducted in the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) to gauge the effect of question format on men's reports of contraceptive use at last sexual intercourse. We examine whether receiving separate questions about the respondent's own and his partner's contraceptive use, as opposed to one combined question about either partner's use, is related to higher reports of using any contraceptive methods, using specific methods, the number of methods reported, and the reports of female methods in addition to male methods. We find that there is little evidence that question format influences the reporting of any contraceptive use or of reporting using most methods. However, we do find that the number of methods reported is higher when the respondent received the two question format. We also find that race and ethnicity and length of time since last sex condition the effect of question format on men's reports, particularly their reports of both male and female method use.
