Does a values clarification and attitudes transformation (VCAT) workshop influence provider attitudes, knowledge, and service provision related to abortion care
Despite being widely implemented, little information exists on the effect of Value Clarification and Attitude Transformation (VCAT) workshops on health care provider knowledge and attitudes and abortion provision. Between 2019 and 2021, we conducted a cluster-randomised controlled trial among 101 private abortion-providing healthcare facilities in Ethiopia. We surveyed 217 providers prior to a VCAT workshop and again at 2 weeks, 6 months, and one…
Financial, Social, and Demographic Factors Associated With Obtaining an Abortion
In a restrictive state policy environment, receipt of financial and social support was associated with greater likelihood of obtaining abortion within a month of reporting considering or seeking it among a sample of pregnant people in Indiana
Financial Barriers Are Associated With Self‐Managed Abortion in Indiana
Objectives To measure knowledge of and experiences with self‐managed abortion among abortion seekers in Indiana before the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ( Dobbs ). Study Design Between June 2021 and April 2022, we recruited a non‐probability sample of Indiana residents of any age who were currently or recently pregnant and considering abortion via online advertisements, referrals from abortion funds, and f…
The pleasure, joy and positive emotional experiences of abortion accompaniment after 17 weeks’ gestation
Research documents how abortion can be emotionally difficult and stigmatising, but generally has not considered whether and how involvement in abortion may be a source of positive emotions, including pleasure, belonging and even joy. The absence of explorations that start from the possibility of abortion pleasure and joy represents an epistemic foreclosure. Moreover, it highlights how social science literature has tended to emphasise the negative…
Reports of Negative Interactions with Healthcare Providers among Transgender, Nonbinary, and Gender-Expansive People assigned Female at Birth in the United States
Over one million people in the United States are transgender, nonbinary, or gender expansive (TGE). TGE individuals, particularly those who have pursued gender-affirming care, often need to disclose their identities in the process of seeking healthcare. Unfortunately, TGE individuals often report negative experiences with healthcare providers (HCPs). We conducted a cross-sectional online survey of 1684 TGE people assigned female or intersex at bi…
Abortion-Related Laws and Concurrent Patterns in Abortion Incidence in Indiana, 2010–2019
Objectives. To analyze abortion incidence in Indiana concurrent with changes in abortion-related laws. Methods. Using publicly available data, we created a timeline of abortion-related laws in Indiana, calculated abortion rates by geography, and described changes in abortion occurrence coincident with changes in abortion-related laws between 2010 and 2019. Results. Between 2010 and 2019, Indiana’s legislature passed 14 abortion-restricting laws, …
Ethics of Care Born in Intersectional Praxis
Abortion in the global South is highly restricted. The social, economic, and health problems engendered by this restriction are often relegated to the discipline of public health and considered a technical problem to be solved through policy change, international pressure, and Northern aid. In recent years, however, local activists around the world have responded to legal restrictions by counseling and supporting abortion seekers online, by phone…
Effectiveness of self-managed abortion during the Covid-19 pandemic
Globally, restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic altered access to clinical abortion care, as well as people’s ability to access abortion medications on their own. When clinical care is inaccessible, or when self-care is preferred, people use pills on their own, without clinical supervision, to end their pregnancies–a practice known as “self-managed” abortion. Little is known about experiences of self-managed abortion during the COVID-19 p…
The Need for Social Support During Unintended Pregnancy Decision-Making
Most pregnancies among young people in the United States are unintended. Previous analyses of unintended pregnancies have typically been restricted by outcome, focusing either on those who had an abortion or those who gave birth. We conducted in-depth interviews with 25 young women in the San Francisco Bay Area who experienced at least one unintended pregnancy at or before age 25, regardless of pregnancy outcome, allowing us to identify themes ac…
What constitutes a good healthcare experience for unintended pregnancy? A qualitative study among young people in California
Little is known about young people's experiences accessing healthcare for unintended pregnancy in the USA. To address this gap, we conducted in-depth interviews with 25 young people in California who had experienced at least one unintended pregnancy at or before 25 years of age. Participants were asked about their interactions with healthcare providers during the pregnancy, their thoughts on the determinants of their perceived quality of care, an…
The Growing Importance of Self-Managed and Telemedicine Abortion in the United States
From ‘Shark-Week’ to ‘Mangina’
Purpose: To explore sexual and reproductive health (SRH)-related word-use among sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals in the United States. Methods: In 2019, we fielded an online quantitative survey on the SRH experiences of SGM adults. Eligible participants included transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive (TGE) people assigned female or intersex at birth, and cisgender sexual minority women (CSMW) in the United States. The survey ask…
Emotions over five years after denial of abortion in the United States
Stakeholder Perceptions and Experiences Regarding Access to Contraception and Abortion for Transgender, Non-Binary, and Gender-Expansive Individuals Assigned Female at Birth in the U.S
Sexual Orientation Differences in Pregnancy and Abortion Across the Lifecourse
Contraceptive Use over Five Years After Receipt Or Denial of Abortion Services
Women's elevated risk of unintended pregnancy after abortion is likely due at least partly to reliance on methods with relatively low effectiveness. Factors affecting contraceptive access postabortion, as well as individual characteristics such as fecundability, require research attention
Impact of interventions and the incidence of ebola virus disease in Liberia—implications for future epidemics
To better understand the impact of national and global efforts to contain the Ebola virus disease epidemic of 2014–15 in Liberia, we provide a detailed timeline of the major interventions and relate them to the epidemic curve. In addition to personal experience in the response, we systematically reviewed situation reports from the Liberian government, UN, CDC, WHO, UNICEF, IFRC, USAID, and local and international news reports to create the timeli…
The List Experiment for Measuring Abortion
Measuring abortion incidence and prevalence is often difficult because of under‐reporting and other biases, complicated research designs, and other issues. Recently, family planning researchers have introduced a new method called the list experiment, adopted from political science and economics, to measure abortion. Three completed studies and at least four studies currently underway use this method to measure abortion in several countries. We di…
Systematic Motorcycle Management and Health Care Delivery
Objectives. We investigated whether managed transportation improves outreach-based health service delivery to rural village populations. Methods. We examined systematic transportation management in a small-cluster interrupted time series field trial. In 8 districts in Southern Zambia, we followed health workers at 116 health facilities from September 2011 to March 2014. The primary outcome was the average number of outreach trips per health worke…
Microcredit participation and child health
BACKGROUND: Childhood malnutrition is a major consequence of poverty worldwide. Microcredit programmes-which offer small loans, financial literacy and social support to low-income individuals-are increasingly promoted as a way to improve the health of clients and their families. This study evaluates the hypothesis that longer participation in a microcredit programme is associated with improvements in the health of children of microcredit clients.…
