A cross\u2010sectional survey of 12,435 randomly selected heterosexual men aged 18\u201360 years\u2014and 9122 of their female partners\u2014was conducted in Nigeria, Kenya, the DR Congo (DRC), Ivory Coast, Bangladesh, and Vietnam, during 2021\u20132022. Across all countries, the majority endorsed that both men and women are responsible for contraception and reported that open communication and shared decision\u2010making were common between partners. Important differences emerged by region\u2014for example, larger proportions in Asian versus African contexts reported trust in one's partner to disclose contraception use. About one\u2010third of respondents who had used existing male contraceptives were dissatisfied with them. Notable proportions (up to one half) also had some concerns about the potential of new male contraception methods \u2014for example, that it may negatively affect men's sexual performance. Multinomial regression analyses showed that higher education and income were associated with more positive attitudes about men and women's shared responsibility for contraception. Findings suggest that a future roll\u2010out of novel male contraception should tailor awareness messages and related programming to address existing concerns and differences in attitudes across regions. Results also indicate that in multiple countries with high burdens of unintended pregnancy there is a need, interest, and relatively favorable contexts for the introduction of new male contraceptives.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/sifp.70040","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,7]],"date-time":"2025-11-07T13:27:16Z","timestamp":1762522036000},"page":"92-109","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Male Contraceptive Methods: Understanding Men and Women's Views and Related Relationship Dynamics via Nationally Representative Surveys in Six Countries"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"57","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5177-1508","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julie","family":"Pulerwitz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Japneet","family":"Kaur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6422-9478","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ann","family":"Gottert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dhananjay Vaidyanathan","family":"Rohini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4839-2213","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Steve","family":"Kretschmer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,7]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","first-page":"603","article-title":"Male Contraception","volume":"93","author":"Abbe Carmen R","year":"2020","journal-title":"The Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.contraception.2023.110064"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2214\u2010109X(20)30315\u20106"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12610\u2010017\u20100048\u20109"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0891243211416113"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.contraception.2010.03.016"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/19419899.2023.2191606"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/sifp.12275"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","volume-title":"Getting to Equal: Men, Gender Equality, and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights","author":"Greene Margaret E.","year":"2019"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/deh574"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_12_1","volume-title":"Determinants of Partner Violence in Low and Middle\u2010Income Countries: Exploring Variation in Individual and Population\u2010Level Risk","author":"Heise Lori L","year":"2012"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_13_1","unstructured":"ICF USAID. n.d. \u201cThe DHS Program.\u201d Accessed September 8.http:\/\/www.dhsprogram.com."},{"key":"e_1_2_8_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(10)60548-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/andr.13726"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1210\/clinem\/dgab034"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.contraception.2023.110001"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1363\/45e8119"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1097184X06298778"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/003335491012500219"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_21_1","unstructured":"Ranjithkumar.2021. \u201cContraline Secures Funding for ADAM Hydrogel Implant Trial.\u201dNS Medical Devices.https:\/\/www.nsmedicaldevices.com\/news\/contraline\u2010adam\u2010hydrogel\u2010implant\u2010trial\/."},{"key":"e_1_2_8_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00224499.2021.1905764"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12978-023-01609-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.contraception.2025.110830"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2214-109X(20)30060-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_26_1","unstructured":"The Endocrine Society.2024. \u201cPress Release: New Male Birth Control Gel Takes Effect Sooner Than Similar Contraceptive Methods.\u201d Washington DC: The Endocrine Society."},{"key":"e_1_2_8_27_1","unstructured":"United Nations.2019.Contraceptive Use by Method 2019: Data Booklet.
