Participants answered a semi\u2010structured questionnaire about which mode of delivery they considered the \u201cbest\u201d (less risky and more beneficial) and the \u201cpreferred\u201d mode (the one they would choose for themselves or their partners). Pearson chi\u2010square was used to assess association among variables.

Vaginal birth was chosen as the \u201cbest\u201d mode of delivery by 91.2 percent, and the \u201cpreferred\u201d mode by 75.5 percent of students. Being male, born vaginally, and a Health Sciences student was associated with a preference for vaginal birth.
