Out-of-State Travel for Abortion among Texas Residents following an Executive Order Suspending In-State Services during the Coronavirus Pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, existing and new abortion restrictions constrained people's access to abortion care. We assessed Texas abortion patients' out-of-state travel patterns before and during implementation of a state executive order that prohibited most abortions for 30 days in 2020. We received data on Texans who obtained abortions between February and May 2020 at 25 facilities in six nearby states. We estimated weekly trends in the numb…
Feasibility and Acceptability of At-Home Routine Pregnancy Testing in the United States
Regular self-testing and texting results is feasible and acceptable to participants provided with free at-home urine pregnancy tests. These results can inform future studies designed to investigate the effect of regular self-testing on timing of pregnancy detection to facilitate early entry to prenatal care or early abortion
Perspectives on Alternative Models of Medication Abortion Provision Among Abortion Patients in the United States
People who have previously had a medication abortion are interested in alternative methods of provision for reasons concerning convenience, privacy, and avoiding burdens related to hostile policy environments, such as long travel distances to clinics and multiple appointments. Concerns around these models were primarily safety concerns for young people. Further research is needed to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, acceptability, and feasibili…

The opioid crisis and economic distress
Drug‐related overdoses, and opioid overdoses in particular, have increased substantially over the past two decades, creating a public health crisis. This crisis has hit both urban and rural areas. However, it hit at a time in which rural areas were already struggling to retain population and adjust to new economic realities presented by a transition to service economies and increasing urbanization. Thus, to explore how the opioid crisis may have …

Women's Perspectives on Medical Abortion in Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru
In Latin America, where abortion is almost universally legally restricted, medical abortion, especially with misoprostol alone, is increasingly being used, often with the tablets obtained from a pharmacy. We carried out in-depth interviews with 49 women who had had a medical abortion under clinical supervision in rural and urban settings in Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, who were recruited through clinicians providing abortions. The women of…
Women's Knowledge of and Support for Abortion Restrictions in Texas
Many Texas women of reproductive age are unaware of statewide abortion restrictions, and some support these requirements because of misperceptions about the safety of abortion. Advocates and policymakers should address these knowledge gaps in efforts to protect access to legal abortion
Changes in Service Delivery Patterns After Introduction of Telemedicine Provision of Medical Abortion in Iowa
Objectives. We assessed the effect of a telemedicine model providing medical abortion on service delivery in a clinic system in Iowa. Methods. We reviewed Iowa vital statistic data and billing data from the clinic system for all abortion encounters during the 2 years prior to and after the introduction of telemedicine in June 2008 (n = 17 956 encounters). We calculated the distance from the patient’s residential zip code to the clinic and to the …
Self-induction of abortion among women in the United States

The Impact of the Flint Water Crisis on Fertility
Flint switched its public water source in April 2014, increasing exposure to lead and other contaminants. We compare the change in the fertility rate and in health at birth in Flint before and after the water switch to the changes in other cities in Michigan. We find that Flint fertility rates decreased by 12 % and that overall health at birth decreased. This effect on health at birth is a function of two countervailing mechanisms: (1) negative s…

Frustrated Demand for Sterilization Among Low‐Income Latinas in El Paso, Texas
Because access to a full range of contraceptive methods is limited for low-income women, researchers and providers should not assume a woman's current method is her method of choice
The Longevity Gap Between Black and White Men in the United States at the Beginning and End of the 20th Century
Objectives. We sought to assess whether the disparity in mortality rates between Black and White men decreased from the beginning to the end of the 20th century. Methods. We used Cox proportional hazard models for mortality to estimate differences in longevity between Black and White Civil War veterans from 1900 to 1914 (using data from a pension program) and a later cohort of male participants (using data from the 1992 to 2006 Health and Retirem…
Clinic Versus Over-the-Counter Access to Oral Contraception
Objectives. As part of the Border Contraceptive Access Study, we interviewed oral contraceptive (OC) users living in El Paso, Texas, to assess motivations for patronizing a US clinic or a Mexican pharmacy with over-the-counter (OTC) pills and to determine which women were likely to use the OTC option. Methods. We surveyed 532 clinic users and 514 pharmacy users about background characteristics, motivations for choosing their OC source, and satisf…
Complications after Second Trimester Surgical and Medical Abortion
Second trimester abortion is associated with higher rates of complications compared to first trimester abortion. Dilatation and evacuation (D&E) and medical induction using misoprostol alone or a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol are the methods most commonly used for later abortion in developed countries, yet little research has directly compared them. We reviewed the literature on PubMed and identified only one small randomised contro…

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…

Barriers to Contraceptive Use in Product Labeling and Practice Guidelines
Many contraceptives are encumbered with potentially unnecessary restrictions on their use. Indeed, fear of side effects, fostered by alarmist labeling, is a leading reason that women do not use contraceptives. In the United States, hormonal methods currently require a prescription, although research suggests that women can adequately screen themselves for contraindications, manage side effects, and determine an appropriate initiation date, leavin…
