On Measuring and Reducing Selection Bias With a Quasi‐Doubly Randomized Preference Trial
Randomized experiments provide unbiased estimates of treatment effects, but are costly and time consuming. We demonstrate how a randomized experiment can be leveraged to measure selection bias by conducting a subsequent observational study that is identical in every way except that subjects choose their treatment—a quasi‐doubly randomized preference trial (quasi‐DRPT). Researchers first strive to think of and measure all possible confounders and …

Judicial Bypass for Minors Seeking Abortions in Arkansas Versus Other States
Objectives. To describe demographic characteristics and abortion timing of minors in Arkansas who obtained an abortion through a judicial bypass, and to contrast the frequency of judicial bypass in other states in the United States. Methods. We used individual-level data on all abortions to minors (n = 2624) performed in Arkansas from 2005 to 2014 and aggregated data from 10 additional states on abortions obtained through a judicial bypass. We ch…

If Only Policy Analysis Were So Easy
How Important Was the Pill to Women's Economic Well‐being? If Roe V. Wade Were Overturned, How Might Society Change
Maternal Smoking and the Timing of WIC Enrollment
Parental Consent for Abortion and the Judicial Bypass Option in Arkansas
States that convert a parental notification statute to a parental consent statute are unlikely to experience a decrease in abortions among minors
Regulating Abortion
The State of Texas began enforcement of the Woman's Right to Know (WRTK) Act on January 1, 2004. The law requires that all abortions at or after 16 weeks' gestation be performed in an ambulatory surgical center (ASC). In the month the law went into effect, not one of Texas's 54 nonhospital abortion providers met the requirements of a surgical center. The effect was immediate and dramatic. The number of abortions performed in Texas at or after 16 …
A Simple Test of Abortion and Crime
I first replicate Donohue and Levitt's results for violent and property crime arrest rates. I apply their data and specification to an analysis of age-specific homicide rates and murder arrest rates. The coefficients on the abortion rate have the wrong sign for two of the four measures of crime and none is statistically significant at conventional levels. I then use the legalization of abortion in 1973 to exploit two sources of variation: between…
Maternal Smoking and the Timing of WIC Enrollment
Minors' Behavioral Responses to Parental Involvement Laws
Some minors postpone abortion until the second or even third trimester of pregnancy to circumvent parental notification requirements. Given the greater costs of and medical risks associated with late-term abortions, policymakers should not ignore this behavior
Reassessing the WIC effect
Recent analyses differ on how effective the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) is at improving infant health. We use data from nine states that participate in the Pregnancy Nutrition Surveillance System to address limitations in previous work. With information on the mother's timing of WIC enrollment, we test whether greater exposure to WIC is associated with less smoking, improved weight gain during preg…
Misclassification Bias and the Estimated Effect of Parental Involvement Laws on Adolescents' Reproductive Outcomes
Objectives. We evaluated the presence of misclassification bias in the estimated effect of parental involvement laws on minors’ reproductive outcomes when subjection to such laws was measured by age at the time of pregnancy resolution. Methods. Using data from abortion and birth certificates, we evaluated the effect of Texas's parental notification law on the abortion, birth, and pregnancy rates of adolescents aged 17 years compared with those ag…
The changing association between prenatal participation in WIC and birth outcomes in New York City
We analyze the relationship between prenatal WIC participation and birth outcomes in New York City from 1988-2001. The analysis is unique for several reasons. First, we have over 800,000 births to women on Medicaid, the largest sample ever used to analyze prenatal participation in WIC. Second, we focus on measures of fetal growth distinct from preterm birth, since there is little clinical support for a link between nutritional supplementation and…

On the Validity of Retrospective Assessments of Pregnancy Intention
Information on pregnancy intention is often gathered retrospectively (after the birth of a child). This article investigates whether the retrospective assessment of pregnancy intention leads to biased estimates of the extent or consequences of unintended fertility. Comparisons are made between pregnancy intentions ascertained during pregnancy and after birth using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. After correction for selective…
Consequences for Infants of Parental Disagreement in Pregnancy Intention
Information on both parents' fertility intentions is needed to identify infants at risk of adverse health and developmental outcomes
Joyce Et Al. Respond
We appreciate the comments by Seils et al. As we stated in our article, we agree that relatively few foreign-born Latinas lost eligibility for publicly financed prenatal care under the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA). However, there was substantial fear and confusion in immigrant communities as to the ramifications of PRWORA. Governor Wilson of California was explicit about his desire to cut off public fun…

The Impact of Mandatory Waiting Periods and Parental Consent Laws on the Timing of Abortion and State of Occurrence among Adolescents in Mississippi and South Carolina
Individual data on induced abortions from Mississippi and South Carolina are used to examine the effect of parental consent laws and mandatory delay statutes on two outcomes among teens: the point in pregnancy at which the abortion occurs and whether teens obtain abortions in or outside their state of residence. No effect of either law was found on the timing and location of abortion among minors relative to older teens in South Carolina. In Miss…
Welfare Reform and the Perinatal Health and Health Care Use of Latino Women in California, New York City, and Texas
Objectives. This study analyzed changes in the financing of prenatal care and delivery, the use of prenatal care, and birth outcomes among foreign-born vs US-born Latino women following enactment of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) in August 1996. Methods. We used a pre–post design with a comparison group. The sample consisted of resident Latinas in California, New York City, and Texas who delivered a l…

Did Recent Expansions in Medicaid Narrow Socioeconomic Differences in Hospitalization Rates of Infants
OBJECTIVE: To test whether socioeconomic differences in the ratio of infant hospitalizations to births, a proxy for infant hospitalization rates, and hospital lengths of stay for infants narrowed between 1988 and 1992: a period of large increases in the numbers of low-income infants enrolled in Medicaid. RESEARCH DESIGN: Before and after comparison of socioeconomic differences in the ratio of infant hospitalizations to births (ie, infant hospital…
