The National Survey of Fertility Barriers, 2004-2010 [United States]

The National Survey of Fertility Barriers (NSFB) is a nationally representative telephone survey of women age 25-45 that was funded by grant R01-HD044144 from the National Institute of Child Health and Development (NICHD) entitled "Infertility: Pathways and Psychological Outcomes". Professors David R. Johnson (originally University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) and later Pennstate University) and Lynn K. White (UNL) were the Principal Investigators, with co-investigators Julia McQuillan (UNL), Arthur L. Greil (Alfred University), Mary Casey Jacob (University of Connecticut), Naomi Laci (University of Nebraska Medical Center) and Laurie Scheuble (Doane University). The focus of the survey is Psycho-Social-Biomedical dimensions of fertility barriers. The two wave design facilitates assessing people before they know that they have a fertility barrier and after they experience a fertility barrier, as well as retrospective data on fertility history. Fertility barriers include subfecundity, repeated miscarriages, health conditions that preclude childbearing, situational barriers, and sterilization regret. The first wave was conducted between 2004 and 2007 and includes completed interviews with 4,794 women age 25 to 45 and 926 of their partners. The second wave was collected between 2007 and 2010 and includes 2222 women and 772 of their partners. The data were collected by the Survey Research Center at The Pennsylvania State University and the Bureau of Sociological Research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
