This project continues the analysis of the Survey of Women data, an ongoing survey of adult, reproductive-age women in Ohio and eight other states. The overall goal of this project is to use survey data to evaluate the effects of health-related legislation, policy, and other administrative changes on the reproductive health of women in Ohio (including their knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors regarding contraception and abortion) and to disseminate rigorous scientific data in easy-to-use formats for policy makers, advocacy groups, and health systems and administrators.
Data gathered from a representative sample of reproductive-age women in Ohio is essential to gaining a full picture of the reproductive health landscape for people with different demographic characteristics (e.g. rurality, race, education). Our research team can assess how policy changes affect knowledge, attitude, and beliefs related to abortion, contraception, and other components of reproductive health.
