If I Control Your Body, I Can Fully Control You”
Access to medication abortion—the use of medications rather than a surgical procedure for pregnancy termination—is an essential reproductive healthcare service. Following the overturn of Roe v. Wade and federal abortion protections in the United States, medication abortion and telemedicine for abortion are increasingly vital. Black, Latinx, and lower-income women in the United States already experience disproportionate barriers to abortion care a…
Medication Abortion “Reversal” Laws
Objectives. To longitudinally examine the legal landscape of laws requiring abortion patients be informed about the possibility of medication abortion (MAB) “reversal” (in quotes as it does not refer to an evidence-based medical procedure). Methods. We collected legal data on enacted state MAB-reversal laws across all 50 US states and Washington, DC, (collectively, states) from 2012 through 2021. We descriptively analyzed these laws to identify l…
Depressive Symptoms in Relation to Adverse Childhood Experiences, Discrimination, Hope, and Social Support in a Diverse Sample of College Students
BACKGROUND: Young adulthood is a critical transitory period, with various factors impacting mental health and longer-term health outcomes, particularly among racial/ethnic minorities. Drawing from minority stress theory, this study examined correlates of depressive symptoms, specifically adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), racial/ethnic discrimination, hope, social support, and their interactive effects, among a diverse sample of college studen…

Variation in Restrictive Abortion Policies and Adverse Birth Outcomes in the United States from 2005 to 2015
Factors associated with reproductive autonomy in Ghana
Reproductive autonomy is essential for women to achieve reproductive rights and freedom. However, the factors associated with reproductive autonomy in various contexts have not been explored. The aim of this analysis was to understand the socio-demographic, reproductive history and social context variables associated with two validated reproductive autonomy sub-scales among 516 young Ghanaian women age 15 to 24. We used multiple linear regression…

Removing parental involvement requirements would protect minors' reproductive autonomy and support the provision of equitable, patient-centered healthcare
Sexuality-based Stigma and Inclusion Among Southern Protestant Religious Leaders
Introduction Sexuality-based stigma is prevalent in the USA and is, in part, based on religious and gender norms. In the South—compared to other regions—religiosity is more salient, gender norms are more conservative, and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) inequities are more prevalent. Methods Guided by a stakeholder Advisory Committee, the researchers conducted 20 in-depth interviews with Protestant religious leaders in Georgia from 2018 to 2…
Abortion Trends in Georgia Following Enactment of the 22-Week Gestational Age Limit, 2007–2017
Objectives. To measure trends before, during, and after implementation of Georgia House Bill 954, a limit on abortion at 22 or more weeks of gestation passed in 2012, in total abortions and abortions by gestational age and state residence. Methods. We analyzed aggregate year-level induced termination of pregnancy data from the Georgia Department of Public Health from 2007 to 2017. We used linear regression to describe annual trends in the number …
Reproductive Autonomy and Modern Contraceptive Use at Last Sex Among Young Women in Ghana
CONTEXT: Variability in the conceptualization and measurement of women's empowerment has resulted in inconsistent findings regarding the relationships between empowerment and sexual and reproductive health outcomes. Reproductive autonomy-a specific measure of empowerment-and its role in modern contraceptive use have rarely been assessed in Sub-Saharan contexts. METHODS: Survey data were collected from a sample of 325 urban Ghanaian women aged 15-…
Reproductive autonomy and pregnancy decision-making among young Ghanaian women
Decision-making regarding the outcome of a pregnancy may include participation of the woman herself, her sexual partner, parents, family, and/or community. This paper examines who had the most say in the outcome of young Ghanaian women's last pregnancy and whether this correlated with her level of reproductive autonomy (RA). We analysed cross-sectional data from 380 previously pregnant young women in urban Ghana. We measured communication and dec…
Adverse life experiences and risk of unintended pregnancy in adolescence and early adulthood
ALEs increased the risk of unintended first pregnancy overall, and different levels of exposure impacting the risk of pregnancy differently for different sub-groups of women. Our ongoing research is further investigating the role of stress-associated adversity in shaping reproductive health outcomes and disparities in the United States
Stressful Life Events Around the Time of Unplanned Pregnancy and Women’s Health
Development and Validation of a Scale to Measure Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health Stigma
Young women's experiences with sexual and reproductive health (SRH) stigma may contribute to unintended pregnancy. Thus, stigma interventions and rigorous measures to assess their impact are needed. Based on formative work, we generated a pool of 51 items on perceived stigma around different dimensions of adolescent SRH and family planning (sex, contraception, pregnancy, childbearing, abortion). We tested items in a survey study of 1,080 women ag…

Women's Preferred Sources for Primary and Mental Health Care
The Link Between Everyday Discrimination, Healthcare Utilization, and Health Status Among a National Sample of Women
Perceived discrimination was associated with increased exposure to the healthcare setting among this national sample of women. Perceived discrimination was also inversely associated with excellent/very good perceived health status
Water, Human Rights, and Reproductive Justice
Access to safe water and adequate living standards are recognized as basic health requisites and human rights worldwide. Nevertheless, socially marginalized women across the globe are currently facing threats to safe water access, which has dire implications for their health and that of their children. The City of Detroit, Michigan has recently shut off water services to over 50,000 residences, with low-income and racially marginalized women and …
Social Discrimination, Stress, and Risk of Unintended Pregnancy Among Young Women
Women’s Health and the Affordable Care Act
Our population-based survey of 1078 randomly sampled US women, aged 18 to 55 years, sought to characterize their understanding of and attitudes toward the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Most women, especially socially disadvantaged groups, had negative or uncertain attitudes toward the ACA and limited understanding of its health benefits, including its relevance for their own health service coverage and utilization. Our findings are important for con…

Associations Between Sexual and Reproductive Health Communication and Health Service Use Among U.S. Adolescent Women
