Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand how obstetrician-gynecologists categorize interventions that end pregnancies with lethal fetal anomalies.
- Researchers conducted an online survey and qualitative interviews with U.S. obstetricians from May to July 2021, assessing how different scenarios were classified as either induced abortion or indicated delivery.
- Findings revealed significant variation in these classifications, influenced by factors like gestational age, method of procedure, and setting, even among experienced professionals.
Objectives: To explore how US obstetrician-gynecologists (OB/GYNs) classify periviable pregnancy-ending interventions for maternal life endangerment.
Study Design: From May to July 2021, we performed an explanatory sequential mixed methods study of US OB/GYNs, recruited through social media and professional listservs. We administered a cross-sectional survey requesting institutional classification of labor induction or surgical evacuation of a 22-week pregnancy affected by intrauterine infection, using chi-square tests and logistic regression to compare determinations by physician and institutional factors.
Objectives: To evaluate practices of crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) in a state with supportive abortion policies.
Study Design: We called all New York State CPCs regarding their services using a "mystery client" protocol, utilizing checklists and thematic analysis.
Results: Of 86 CPCs, 67 (78%) encouraged in-person appointments, offering free medical services and support.
Objective: To understand individual abortion providers' experiences with targeted harassment.
Study Design: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of a convenience sample of US physicians with history of abortion provision, recruited through online groups, and listservs. Respondents completed a Qualtrics survey reporting personal and practice characteristics and experiences with harassment.
Objective: Support for abortion rights is often portrayed as antithetical to valuing family. With abortion provider demographics trending toward younger and female physicians, we sought to understand the influence of personal experiences with parenthood and pregnancy on abortion provision.
Study Design: We surveyed U.
