Safety and effectiveness of self‐managed abortion using misoprostol alone acquired from an online telemedicine service in the United States
Self-managed medication abortion using misoprostol provided by an online telemedicine service has a high rate of effectiveness and a low rate of serious adverse events. Outcomes compare favorably to other service delivery models using a similar regimen. As mifepristone continues to be over-regulated and the 2022 US Supreme Court ruling allows states to severely restrict access to in-clinic abortion care, this regimen is a promising option for sel…
Experiences seeking, sourcing, and using abortion pills at home in the United States through an online telemedicine service
A growing number of people in the United States seek to self-manage their abortions by self-sourcing abortion medications online. Prior research focuses on people's motivations for seeking self-management of abortion and experiences trying to obtain medications. However, little is known about the experiences of people in the U.S. who actually complete a self-managed abortion using medications they self-sourced online. We conducted anonymous in-de…
U.S. Abortion Care Providers’ Perspectives on Self-Managed Abortion
State-level restrictions on abortion access may prompt greater numbers of people to self-manage their abortion. The few studies exploring perspectives of providers towards self-managed abortion are focused on physicians and advanced practice clinicians. Little is known about the wider spectrum of abortion care providers who encounter self-managed abortion in their clinic-based work. To gain a deeper understanding of this issue and inform future c…
The economic context of pursuing online medication abortion in the United States
Access to in-clinic abortion has become increasingly restricted in the U.S. and for many, the high cost of care is a significant barrier. However, little is known about how financial circumstances shape the alternate pathways to abortion care people seek when the clinic is out of reach. In a unique sample of people who used medication abortion pills from Aid Access, a non-profit telemedicine service, we examine the impact of economic circumstance…

Abortion Need among U.S. Servicewomen
Motivations and Experiences of People Seeking Medication Abortion Online in the United States
Current online options for abortion medications leave many important needs unmet, particularly for women who encounter barriers to obtaining clinic-based abortion services. There is a public health justification to reduce clinic access barriers and to make medication abortion that is sourced online and managed at home as safe and supported as possible
Prevalence and Predictors of Prenatal and Postpartum Contraceptive Counseling in Two Texas Cities
Anticipated Emotions About Unintended Pregnancy in Relationship Context
This study examined differences in women's anticipated emotional orientations toward unintended pregnancy by relationship status and race and ethnicity. Data from a prospective survey of 437 women aged 18 to 44 years who intended no more children for at least 2 years were analyzed along with 27 in-depth interviews among a diverse subsample. Cohabiting women and women in romantic relationships not living together were less likely to profess happin…
Rethinking the Pregnancy Planning Paradigm
Approximately half of pregnancies occurring each year in the United States are unintended: They either occurred too soon or were not intended at any time. This commonly cited statistic is testament to the dominance of unintended pregnancy as a public health benchmark for measuring and improving women's reproductive health. In addition to its use as a public health metric, this timing-based definition of unintended pregnancy is reflected in pregna…
Comparison of a Timing‐Based Measure of Unintended Pregnancy and the London Measure of Unplanned Pregnancy
U.S. and British measures of unintended pregnancy are not directly comparable, and a measure combining intentions and feelings may better predict pregnancy outcomes
Happiness About Unintended Pregnancy And Its Relationship to Contraceptive Desires Among a Predominantly Latina Cohort
The Impact of Reproductive Health Legislation on Family Planning Clinic Services in Texas
We examined the impact of legislation in Texas that dramatically cut and restricted participation in the state’s family planning program in 2011 using surveys and interviews with leaders at organizations that received family planning funding. Overall, 25% of family planning clinics in Texas closed. In 2011, 71% of organizations widely offered long-acting reversible contraception; in 2012–2013, only 46% did so. Organizations served 54% fewer clien…
