Investing in Reproductive Health
While most people with the capacity for pregnancy in the United States use some form of contraception, accessing high-quality provider-based contraceptive care can be difficult for people with limited resources. Since the early 1970s, Medicaid and Title X have provided individual and systems-level funding for contraceptive care and other vital sexual and reproductive health services to those with financial need, but such investments vary by state…
Cost-related barriers to sexual and reproductive health care
Financial barriers can inhibit reproductive autonomy. This study examines the role of financial barriers on Arizona individuals' experiences accessing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care. We recruited individuals who may have experienced barriers when accessing SRH care in 2019 to participate in three interviews at six-to-nine-month intervals beginning in the summer of 2020. Our analyses focused on respondent strategies to mitigate cost bar…
Measuring the Relationship Between the 2019 Title X Final Rule and Patients’ Sexual and Reproductive Health Care Access and Behavior in Iowa Using a Difference-in-Difference Approach
Introduction Previous research has documented how the implementation of the 2019 Title X Final Rule reduced the Title X network capacity and led to decreases in patient numbers. Our objective was to examine the relationship between the Rule and patients’ reproductive health care access and outcomes. Methods Our analysis draws on panel data from patients recruited when seeking publicly funded family planning care in Iowa between May 2018 and Febru…
The status of person‐centered contraceptive care in the U nited S tates
The PCCC can capture differential experiences of contraceptive care to monitor patient experience and to motivate and track care quality over time. Differences in reported quality of care have implications for informing national priorities for contraceptive care improvements
Disruptions and opportunities in sexual and reproductive health care
While providers faced many challenges, they also described opportunities to innovate and rethink standard of care protocols that may continue to shape sexual and reproductive health care even after the pandemic abates
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
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…
Contraceptive method use in the United States
OBJECTIVE: The objective was to examine levels of, correlates of and changes in the use of individual and grouped methods of contraception among US females aged 15-44 from 2008 to 2014. STUDY DESIGN: Using three rounds of the National Survey of Family Growth, we analyzed samples of 12,279 (2008), 5601 (2012) and 5699 (2014) females. We conducted simple and multivariable logistic regression analyses to identify associations between demographic cha…
Use of Health Insurance Among Clients Seeking Contraceptive Services at Title X–Funded Facilities in 2016
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
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
Barriers to Abortion Care and Their Consequences For Patients Traveling for Services
The amalgamation of barriers to abortion care experienced simultaneously can have significant consequences for patients
Parents' experience of unintended childbearing
Does state-level context matter for individuals' knowledge about abortion, legality and health? Challenging the ‘red states v. blue states’ hypothesis
Recently, the hypothesis that state-level political context influences individuals' cultural values--the 'red states v. blue states' hypothesis--has been invoked to explain the hyper-polarisation of politics in the USA. To test this hypothesis, we examined individuals' knowledge about abortion in relation to the political context of their current state of residence. Drawing from an internet-survey of 586 reproductive-age individuals in the USA, w…

Community attitudes towards childbearing and abortion among HIV-positive women in Nigeria and Zambia
Although stigma towards HIV-positive women for both continuing and terminating a pregnancy has been documented, to date few studies have examined relative stigma towards one outcome versus the other. This study seeks to describe community attitudes towards each of two possible elective outcomes of an HIV-positive woman's pregnancy - induced abortion or birth - to determine which garners more stigma and document characteristics of community member…
Changes in use of long-acting contraceptive methods in the United States, 2007–2009
Changes in Abortion Rates Between 2000 and 2008 and Lifetime Incidence of Abortion
OBJECTIVE: To estimate abortion rates among subpopulations of women in 2008, assess changes in subpopulation abortion rates since 2000, and estimate the lifetime incidence of abortion. METHODS: We combined secondary data from several sources, including the 2008 Abortion Patient Survey, the Current Population Surveys for 2008 and 2009, and the 2006-2008 National Survey of Family Growth, to estimate abortion rates by subgroup and lifetime incidence…

Abortion Stigma
Prospective Assessment of Pregnancy Intentions Using a Single‐ Versus a Multi‐Item Measure
Prospective assessment of pregnancy intention with either a single- or a multi-item measure may allow for a more nuanced assessment of pregnancy intention than current measures. The multi-item measure may reduce the number of women categorized as ambivalent and aid the development of targeted contraceptive and preconception counseling interventions

Clinicians can play a pivotal role in ensuring that women have accurate information about how to access and use emergency contraception. However, efforts are needed to explore other ways to deliver this counseling
