Happy to share my new study, publ. in Social Science Research 🎉 Bottom line: Yes, adolescents use their phones a lot 🤳 But I find no support for the notion that this use displaces reading, homework, hobbies, physical act., sleep... Instead: Changing media preferences 📺 ->📱. doi.org/10.1016/j.ss...

The ContraIndex quantifies net benefits = returns – labor.

Results for 22 contraceptive methods show large variation:
🔹 Fertility monitor (+47)
🔹 Pill (+25)
🔹 Hormonal IUD (+8)
🔻 Hormone implant (–11)
🔻 Morning-after pill (–24)

[Scale: –100 = max. labor, 100 = max. returns]

Nora Müller (she/her) @nrmllr.bsky.social · Jul 7

Which contraceptive methods involve most labor vs. greatest returns?
High-return methods (like hormonal IUDs) often require more labor, while low-labor ones (like withdrawal) yield fewer benefits.

🟣 Pill, IUD, and sterilization = high cost
🟢 Condoms = more balanced

🚨 New preprint out
We propose the ContraIndex, a novel tool to measure contraceptive labor and returns.

Why does it matter? Bc both partners benefit from contraception - but women bear the cost: from choosing methods to managing side effects.

Studie von @kfirl.bsky.social, @nrmllr.bsky.social & T. Nutz mit #FReDA-Daten:
➡️ Frauen leisten die meiste Verhütungsarbeit – emotional, körperlich & organisatorisch.
📊 Das gilt auch bei höherem Einkommen oder Bildung.

„Skandalös“ ist nicht die Forderung nach einer Entkriminalisierung von #Schwangerschaftsabbrüche bis zur zwölften Woche, also der Abschaffung von #Paragraph218 des Strafgesetzbuches. Sondern skandalös …

Schwangerschaftsabbruch: Merz empört über Initiative zu Schwangerschaftsabbrüchen

Olaf Scholz unterstützt ein Vorhaben zur Entkriminalisierung von Schwangerschaftsabbrüchen. Friedrich Merz findet das "skandalös". Das Thema würde das Land polarisieren.

Anyone here with minimal interest in fertility work and contraception and good knowledge in formative indexing (from psychology, sociology, economics...)? MPlus skills are a plus. I am looking for a cooperation partner for a paper and research proposal. Get in touch! projectcontraception.github.io
