The Role of Medication Abortion Provision in US States Without Total Abortion Bans, 2023
Background Medication abortion has accounted for an increasing share of abortions in the United States (US) since the Food and Drug Administration's approval of mifepristone in 2000. This study offers updated estimates of medication abortions provided within the formal healthcare system in 2023 in US states without total abortion bans as well as a discussion of recent trends in medication abortion provision. Methods The Guttmacher Institute's Mon…
Randomized experimental testing of new survey approaches to improve abortion reporting in the U nited S tates
More work is needed to improve reporting of abortion in future surveys, particularly as abortion access becomes increasingly restricted in the United States. Despite this study's null results, it provides a promising path for future efforts to improve abortion measurement. It is proof of concept for testing new approaches in a less expensive, faster, and more flexible format than embedding changes in existing national fertility surveys
The Impact of Abortion Underreporting on Pregnancy Data and Related Research
Incomplete reporting of pregnancy remains a fundamental shortcoming to the study of US fertility-related experiences. Efforts to improve abortion reporting are needed to strengthen the quality of pregnancy data to support maternal, child, and reproductive health research
State-Level Variation in Abortion Stigma and Women and Men’s Abortion Underreporting in the USA
Abortion is highly stigmatized in most settings and severely underreported in demographic surveys. In the USA, variation in the context of abortion between states may influence respondents’ exposure to abortion stigma and create geographic variation in their likelihood of disclosing abortion in surveys. We used restricted geographic data from the 2006–2010 and 2011–2015 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) to investigate the association betwee…
Abortion Reporting in the United States
Despite its frequency, abortion remains a highly sensitive, stigmatized, and difficult-to-measure behavior. We present estimates of abortion underreporting for three of the most commonly used national fertility surveys in the United States: the National Survey of Family Growth, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, and the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. Numbers of abortions reported in each survey were compar…
The Incidence of Menstrual Regulation Procedures and Abortion in Bangladesh, 2014

Parents' experience of unintended childbearing
The Role of Men's Childbearing Intentions in Father Involvement
An expanding body of research has investigated factors that influence fathers' involvement with their children. Generally overlooked has been the role of pregnancy intentions on men's fathering behaviors. In this study, the authors used nationally representative data from men interviewed in the 2002 and 2006-2010 National Survey of Family Growth to examine relationships between fathers' pregnancy intentions and multiple aspects of their parental …
Changes in Adolescents' Receipt of Sex Education, 2006–2013
PURPOSE: Updated estimates of adolescents' receipt of sex education are needed to monitor changing access to information. METHODS: Using nationally representative data from the 2006-2010 and 2011-2013 National Survey of Family Growth, we estimated changes over time in adolescents' receipt of sex education from formal sources and from parents and differentials in these trends by adolescents' gender, race/ethnicity, age, and place of residence. RES…
Are Pregnancy Intentions Associated with Transitions Into and Out of Marriage
The findings should motivate researchers to broaden the scope of research on the consequences of unintended childbearing. Future research should distinguish between mistimed and unwanted births
Pregnancy Intentions and Maternal and Child Health
The Cost of Postabortion Care and Legal Abortion in Colombia
CONTEXT: Although Colombia partially liberalized its abortion law in 2006, many abortions continue to occur outside the law and result in complications. Assessing the costs to the health care system of safe, legal abortions and of treating complications of unsafe, illegal abortions has important policy implications. METHODS: The Post-Abortion Care Costing Methodology was used to produce estimates of direct and indirect costs of postabortion care …
Consequences of Sex Education on Teen and Young Adult Sexual Behaviors and Outcomes
The Incidence of Menstrual Regulation Procedures and Abortion in Bangladesh, 2010
CONTEXT: Bangladesh is unique in including menstrual regulation (MR) services as part of the government family planning program, despite having a highly restrictive abortion law. The only national estimates of MR and abortion incidence are from a 1995 study, and updated information is needed to inform policies and programs regarding the provision of MR and related reproductive health services. METHODS: Surveys of a nationally representative sampl…
