Upon inspection of the demographics, it is not surprising then that wtp has been positively associated with education, income, beliefs, and the ideological acceptance of health care 19 . When coupled with the fact that, during the qualitative interview process, women expressed the need for more options, wtp helps to clarify the demand for this type of service.…”
