Likert Responses for Respondents Who Did Not Have Children

Participants responded to this question: “If you did NOT have children during or after residency, how did the following affect your decision?”

Other responses that affected decision not to have children during residency (in cohort that never had children) were as follows:

• Residency training didn't impact decision—made decision not to have children prior to entering residency

• I'm not married

• It was the choice of the career itself and not the residency that affected my decision not to have children. Had we decided to have them, I would have done it during residency, however.

• Wasn't married until after residency so never an issue

• Unmarried
