Measuring the Waiting Majority: Male CT Demand Research in Europe

Respondent-level survey data, instruments, fielded stimuli, and replication code from a cross-sectional web survey of male contraceptive demand in seven European countries. Study. A 10-minute web-based survey (CAWI) of 14,086 men aged 18 to 45, fielded May 29 to July 2, 2026 in Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Sweden, Türkiye, and the United Kingdom (about 2,000 completed interviews per country). Respondents were drawn from double opt-in online access panels with national age and region quotas. Eligible men were sexually active with at least one woman in the past 12 months, had no vasectomy or reported infertility, and had a female partner able to become pregnant. The instrument was a sequential monadic concept test: six male contraceptive product concepts (daily pill, daily gel, two on-demand pills, vas-occlusive hydrogel, silicone ring) shown one at a time in uniformly randomized order and rated on a five-point likelihood scale, followed by a forced choice with an on-demand duration follow-up, an eight-rung adoption-timing ladder, and open-ended willingness-to-pay questions. Post-stratification weights (age, marital status, employment, education, religious affiliation) benchmark each country sample to Eurostat and UN DESA figures.
