Principal findings
Swedish female university students accept and would consider OC regardless of whether fertility preservation is pursued for medical or age-related reasons. In addition, the perceived value of OC for medical or age-related reasons is not significantly different, according to a willingness-to-pay analysis. However, although many students also approve public funding, significantly more do this for medical rather than age-related indications. These findings are consistent across sociodemographic groups and in sensitivity analyses among subsets of respondents.
