Summary 

The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) is a survey based on a nationally representative sample of the household population of the United States, ages 15-44. For the 2011-2013 NFGS, 4,815 men, and 5,601 women were interviewed to produce estimates on topics including: factors affecting pregnancy (including sexual activity, contraceptive use, and infertility); medical care associated with contraception, infertility, and childbirth; marriage, divorce, and cohabitation; adoption and care of non-biological children; and attitudes about sex, childbearing, and marriage. Data collection was completed using computer assisted personal interviewing (CAPI), and audio computer-assisted self-interview (ACASI) was utilized for one section to give privacy to respondents.
