2023

Abstract
The response addresses concerns raised by Labrecque regarding vasectomy prevalence estimates, survey recency, and the validity of using surveys performed more than 10 years ago for estimating 2022 prevalence. The authors clarify their methodology and provide additional data to support their findings, emphasizing the need to improve access to and understanding of vasectomy as a male contraceptive method.
