2002 NATIONAL SURVEY OF FAMILY GROWTH DATA NOW AVAILABLE

Cycle 6 is the latest in a series of surveys conducted to collect information on these topics for women, such as sexual activity (including sexual activity among teenagers); marriage, divorce, and cohabitation; pregnancy and childbirth (including low birth weight, breastfeeding, and maternity leave); infertility, sterilization, contraceptive use (including condom use for disease prevention); and the use of medical services for family planning and infertility.

For men, Cycle 6 covers topics related to reproductive health, family formation and fertility, similar to those covered by the women's survey, including contraceptive use; biological and adopted children; marriage, cohabitation, and other sexual relationships; infertility; expectations for future children; and use of health care. In addition, men were asked about their activities with children and support of children they do not live with.
