STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM This study aims to determine the different factors attributing preference to vasectomy among potential clients in selected municipalities of Cavite. Specifically, this study sought to answer the following questions: 1. What is the demographic profile of the respondents? 2. What are the reasons why men prefer or do not prefer vasectomy? 3. What are the factors attributing preference of the respondents to vasectomy? 4. Which among the factors highly contribute to the respondents preference for vasectomy? 5. Is there as significant relationship between the demographic profile and the respondents preference for vasectomy?

6. Is there a significant relationship between the demographic profile of the respondents and the factors attributing to the respondents preference for vasectomy? HYPOTHESIS Ho1: There is no significant relationship between the demographic profile and the respondents preference for vasectomy. Ho2: There is no significant relationship between the demographic profile of the respondents and the factors attributing to the respondents preference for vasectomy.

TYPES OF DATA AND STATISTICS The type of data used in this study is Quantitative data. The researcher used descriptive non experimental type of research study. A descriptive study consists of a set of gathered data or information, which were analyzed summaraized and interpreted along certain line of thought for the pursuit of a specific purpose or study. Pearson R correlation coefficient will be used to determine the relationship between the demographic profile and the respondents preference for vasectomy. It will also be used to determine the relationship the demographic profile of the respondents and the factors attributing to the res spondents preference for vasectomy. It is normally used to calculate . The n raw scores Xi, Yi were converted to ranks xi, yi, and the differences di = xi yi between the ranks of each observation on the two variables were calculated.

This guide can help you choose which method to use. Simple random sampling is the ideal, but researchers seldom have the luxury of time or money to access the whole population, so many compromises often have to be made. Probability methods This is the best overall group of methods to use as you can subsequently use the most powerful statistical analyses on the results. Method Simple random sampling Stratified sampling (random within target groups) Systematic sampling (every nth person) Cluster sampling (all limited groups) Quota methods in Best when Whole population is available. There are specific sub-groups to investigate (eg. demographic groupings). When a stream of representative people are available (eg. in the street). When population groups are separated and access to all is difficult, eg. in many distant cities.

For a particular analysis and valid results, you can determine the number of people you need to sample. In particular when you are studying a number of groups and when subgroups are small, then you will need equivalent numbers to enable equivalent analysis and conclusions. Method Best when Quota sampling (get only as You have access to a wide many as you need) population, including sub-groups You know the population Proportionate quota distribution across groups, and sampling (in proportion to when normal sampling may not population sub-groups) give enough in minority groups Non-proportionate quota There is likely to a wide variation in sampling(minimum number the studied characteristic within from each sub-group) minority groups Selective methods Sometimes your study leads you to target particular groups. Method Purposive sampling (based on intent) Expert sampling (seeking 'experts') Snowball sampling (ask for recommendations) Best when You are studying particular groups You want expert opinion

You seek similar subjects (eg. young drinkers) When sought 'typical' opinion may Modal instance get lost in a wider study, and when sampling(focus on 'typical' you are able to identify the 'typical' people) group Diversity You are specifically seeking sampling(deliberately differences, eg. to identify sub-

seeking variation)

groups or potential conflicts

Convenience methods Good sampling is time-consuming and expensive. Not all experimenters have the time or funds to use more accurate methods. There is a price, of course, in the potential limited validity of results. Method Snowball sampling (ask for recommendations) Convenience sampling (use who's available) Judgment sampling (guess a good-enough sample) Best when You are ethically and socially able to ask and seek similar subjects. You cannot proactively seek out subjects. You are expert and there is no other choice.

Ethnographic methods When doing field-based observations, it is often impossible to intrude into the lives of people you are studying. Samples must thus be surreptitious and may be based more on who is available and willing to participate in any interviews or studies. Method Best when Focus is needed in particular Selective sampling (gut feel) group, location, subject, etc. Theories are emerging and Theoretical sampling (testing a focused sampling may help clarify theory) these. Convenience sampling (use You cannot proactively seek out who's available) subjects. Judgment sampling (guess a You are expert and there is no good-enough sample) other choice.
