Effect of neighborhood-level income on access to emergency contraception.

Objective: We aim to investigate whether the availability of over-the-counter EC varies by neighborhood income level, independent vs chain pharmacies, or urban vs rural pharmacies.

Study Design: We conducted a cross-sectional "mystery shopper" telephone survey in July 2019 to ascertain whether sampled pharmacies stocked EC. Pharmacies located in 12 Pennsylvania counties were randomly sampled after stratification by neighborhood income level.
