Published: October 2024

Objectives: This study describes how interstate travel for abortion to the state of Oregon changed following the Dobbs decision.

Study Design: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using vital statistics data from the Oregon Health Authority of all medical and surgical abortions between 2015 and 2023.

Results: Following the Dobbs decision, 14.3% of abortions in Oregon were out-of-state residents, compared to 9.6% pre-Dobbs. Out-of-state individuals had significantly higher odds of having abortions in the second or third trimester and having a procedural abortion compared to their in-state counterparts.

Conclusions: Following the Dobbs decision, interstate travel to Oregon increased significantly and represents a distinct population.

Next generation brain health: transforming global research and public health to promote prevention of dementia and reduce its risk in young adult populations.

Efforts to prevent dementia can benefit from precision interventions delivered to the right population at the right time; that is, when the potential to reduce risk is the highest. Young adults (aged 18-39 years) are a neglected population in dementia research and policy making despite being highly exposed to several known modifiable risk factors. The risk and protective factors that have the biggest effect on dementia outcomes in young adulthood, and how these associations differ across regions and groups, still remain unclear.
