This federal Project Grant award of $873,810 from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865) supports a two-phase study on barriers to pregnancy care in the Midwest region of the United States.
The first phase will recruit 500 pregnant people searching for abortion information online to identify and characterize the barriers they face through surveys and interviews. The second phase will follow these participants over 18 months to measure access to abortion and the health implications of their pregnancy outcomes across restrictive and permissive states. The project will also engage stakeholders to develop and launch a health communication intervention to address knowledge gaps and facilitate abortion access in the Midwest. The award was granted to Indiana University Indianapolis, with a sub-award to Ibis Reproductive Health to provide content expertise and methodological oversight.
