No-Test Screening Protocols May Disproportionately Exclude Structurally Oppressed Communities Who Could Benefit from Accessing Medication Abortion
Objective: To explore disparities in ineligibility for medication abortion using no-test screening criteria compared with assessment with testing including ultrasound. Methods: From June 2021 to December 2022, we surveyed patients ages ≥15 seeking abortion at nine recruitment facilities in eight U.S. states before ultrasound; clinicians assessed patients’ eligibility for medication abortion with ultrasound and other testing. Using clinical guidel…
Attitudes regarding the safety of in-clinic and self-managed abortion methods among the US general public in early 2022
Medication abortion (MAB) is extremely safe-including when accessed outside the formal healthcare system-yet misinformation about its safety often influences policy, and research regarding public perceptions about its safety remains limited. In 2021-2022, we administered a US national probability-based online survey to 7,376 English- and/or Spanish-speaking people assigned female (AFAB, ages 15-49; N = 7,016) or male at birth (AMAB, ages 18-49; N…

Exploring Attitudes About the Legality of Self-Managed Abortion in the US
Introduction Twenty-four states have at least one law in place that could be used to prosecute people for self-managed abortion (SMA), or the termination of a pregnancy outside of the formal healthcare system. We investigated factors associated with public attitudes about SMA legality and legal access to abortion more generally. Methods In August 2017, we surveyed a nationally representative sample of English- and Spanish-speaking women ages 18–4…
Comparing Prospective and Retrospective Reports of Pregnancy Intention in a Longitudinal Cohort of U.S. Women
Retrospective measurement of pregnancy intentions may underestimate the frequency of unintended pregnancy, with such underestimation being greater among certain subgroups. Estimates based on retrospective reports thus may produce inaccurate impressions of intentionality. Further efforts to refine the measurement of pregnancy preferences are needed
A Prospective Cohort Study of the Effect of Receiving versus Being Denied an Abortion on Educational Attainment
Psychometric Evaluation of an Instrument to Measure Prospective Pregnancy Preferences
BACKGROUND: Existing approaches to measuring women's pregnancy intentions suffer important limitations, including retrospective assessment, overly simple categories, and a presumption that all women plan pregnancies. No psychometrically valid scales exist to prospectively measure the ranges of women's pregnancy preferences. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using a rigorous construct modeling approach, we developed a scale to measure desire to avoid pregnan…

Limited Socioeconomic Opportunities and Latina Teen Childbearing
Latina adolescents' perceptions of their male partners' influences on childbearing
Teenage births among Latina women living in the USA remain higher than any other racial/ethnic group. This study explored the role that male partners play in the occurrence of pregnancy and their influence on teenage mothers' future plans in a sample of women pregnant with their first child. Qualitative analysis revealed that partners played a significant role in the use of contraception, timing and desire for pregnancy and young women's post-pre…
Finding Teens in TheirSpace
The increasing popularity and widespread use of the Internet has made it an emerging venue for delivering health-related messages and interventions. The current study explored the potential for using social networking sites (SNS), specifically MySpace, to connect youth to sexual health services. Surveys and focus groups with youth aged 14–19 living in low-income communities in California revealed high levels of overall Internet access, frequent u…
Factors Associated With Delayed Childbearing
There has been limited research on the protective factors that help Latinas delay childbearing until adulthood. In-depth interviews were conducted with 65 pregnant Latina teenage and adult women in California who were about to have their first child. Lack of or inconsistent birth control use as teens was attributed to wanting or ambivalence toward childbearing, concern about contraceptive side effects and infertility, and/or inadequate contracept…
