Abstract
Female sterilization is one of the most widely used family planning methods in Latin America. For example, data from recent contraceptive prevalence surveys indicate that 16% of the currently married women 15–44 years of age in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, have been sterilized3. The comparable figure for El Salvador is 18%2 and for Panama, 30%1. (The Panama data are for women 20–49 years of age.)
