| 520 | |aAt the outset of the Commission's work, it was evident that a better understanding of how significant a problem infertility is for Canadians was needed. We found that very little was known in a definitive way about the overall frequency of infertility in this country. Developing accurate and valid estimates of the prevalence of infertility was, therefore, an important Commission research activity, and this volume provides, for the first time, national data on the prevalence of infertility in Canada. Estimates of the prevalence of infertility are important for policy makers who have to make decisions about what priority to attach to responses to infertility and what resources to devote to them, be they initiatives with regard to prevention or initiatives with regard to treatment of those who are already infertile. |
