    Open AccessHannah Olson, Mia ZolnaARTICLEWomen s Health Issues2026

    OBJECTIVE: We aimed to examine receipt of contraceptive and other sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services among U.S. women of reproductive age in 2022-2023, sources of care, and payment methods, with attention to implications for the SRH safety net. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using female respondent data from the 2022-2023 National Survey of Family Growth, we examined receipt of and source of care for 14 SRH services, including contraceptive, p…

    Open AccessKathryn Kost, Mia Zolna et al.ARTICLEDemography2023Cited by: 8References: 39

    We examine whether changes in U.S. pregnancy, birth, and abortion rates between 2009 and 2015 reflect underlying change in the incidence of pregnancies classified by retrospectively reported pregnancy desires: pregnancies reported as having occurred at about the right time, later than wanted, too soon, or not wanted at all, and those for which individuals expressed other feelings, including uncertainty, ambivalence, or indifference. We calculate …

  • A Prospective Cohort Study of Changes in Access to Contraceptive Care and Use Two Years after Iowa Medicaid Coverage Restrictions at Abortion-Providing Facilities Went into Effect

    Open AccessMegan L Kavanaugh, Mia Zolna et al.ARTICLEPopulation Research and Policy…2022Cited by: 1References: 22

    Inequities in access to contraception based on ability to pay can interfere with individuals’ reproductive autonomy. This study examines the impact of a 2017 state-level policy in Iowa restricting Medicaid coverage at abortion-providing health care centers on patients’ access to contraceptive care and subsequent contraceptive use. We draw on a unique panel dataset of individuals who originally sought care at a publicly supported family planning s…

  • Abortion Reporting in the United States

    Open AccessLeon Lindberg, Laura Lindberg et al.ARTICLEDemography2020Cited by: 19References: 52

    Despite its frequency, abortion remains a highly sensitive, stigmatized, and difficult-to-measure behavior. We present estimates of abortion underreporting for three of the most commonly used national fertility surveys in the United States: the National Survey of Family Growth, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, and the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. Numbers of abortions reported in each survey were compar…

  • Use of Health Insurance Among Clients Seeking Contraceptive Services at Title X–Funded Facilities in 2016

    Open AccessMegan L Kavanaugh, Mia Zolna et al.ARTICLEPerspectives on Sexual and…2018Cited by: 2

    Coverage gaps persist among individuals seeking contraceptive care within the Title X network, despite evidence indicating increases in health insurance coverage among this population since implementation of the ACA. Future research should explore the impact of altering or eliminating the ACA both on the Title X provider network and on the individuals who rely on it

  • Insurance-related Practices at Title X-funded Family Planning Centers under the Affordable Care Act

    Open AccessMia Zolna, Mia R Zolna et al.ARTICLEWomen s Health Issues2017

    Providers are trying to understand how insurance programs in their area knit together. Regardless of how U.S. health policies and delivery systems may change in the coming years, it is imperative that publicly funded family planning centers continue to work with health plans and maximize their third-party revenue to provide services to those in need

    Lawrence B Finer, Mia Zolna et al.ARTICLENew England Journal of Medicine2016

    BACKGROUND: The rate of unintended pregnancy in the United States increased slightly between 2001 and 2008 and is higher than that in many other industrialized countries. National trends have not been reported since 2008. METHODS: We calculated rates of pregnancy for the years 2008 and 2011 according to women's and girls' pregnancy intentions and the outcomes of those pregnancies. We obtained data on pregnancy intentions from the National Survey …

    Objectives. We monitored trends in pregnancy by intendedness and outcomes of unintended pregnancies nationally and for key subgroups between 2001 and 2008. Methods. Data on pregnancy intentions from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) and a nationally representative survey of abortion patients were combined with counts of births (from the National Center for Health Statistics), counts of abortions (from a census of abortion providers), es…
