摘要
Objective: Analyze changes in abortion practices during the early coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Study design: Sites recruited by Society of Family Planning participated in a longitudinal descriptive analysis comprising three surveys between February and October 2020. Average monthly total and medication abortion volume was analyzed by chi(2) and linear regression. Results: Total average volume of abortion services did not change among participating sites (p = 0.79). Volume and proportion of medication abortion increased over the study period (p = 0.02, p < 0.01). Conclusions: The early COVID-19 pandemic marked a shift toward medication abortion. Implications: Our findings are interlaced in a national trend predating the Dobbs ruling, likely accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. (c) 2024 Elsevier Inc.
