Characterizing community-level abortion stigma in the United states

Contraception Apr 02, 2021

Cutler AS, Lundsberg LS, White MA, et al. - Researchers aimed at estimating community-level abortion stigma among US adults via recruiting respondents (US adults, English-speaking) from a nationally representative, probability-based online panel in December 2018. In addition, they delineated factors linked with high stigma and less favorable opinions toward policies supportive of abortion care. Multivariable logistic regression was used to determine factors linked with high abortion stigma employing the Community Attitudes Abortion Scale (CAAS), a Reproductive Events and Experiences Scale (REES) subscale, and a Community Level Abortion Stigma Scale (CLASS) subscale. They contacted 1,800 eligible individuals; 984 of these opened the invitation (54.6%) and 886 (90%) completed the survey. Mid-range stigma scores were demonstrated on all three scales by the majority of recruited individuals. Across multiple measurement tools, they identified following factors to be linked with high stigma and less favorable opinions toward policies supportive of abortion care: Catholic, Evangelical or Protestant religion and Republican political affiliation.
