RU: Hughes: Risks and Protective Factors for Unintended Pregnancy in Women with Disabilities

Project Description:
The proposed study addresses four goals of Healthy People 2020: to improve pregnancy planning and spacing, and prevent unintended pregnancy; to improve access to comprehensive, quality health care services, to promote the health and well-being of people with disabilities, and to improve the health and well-being of women, infants, children, and families. To contribute to the attainment of these goals, the proposed study will leverage existing data, using the first population-based data from the National Survey on Family Growth that uses six disability status questions required by the Affordable Care Act, and will integrate qualitative data designed to improve the understanding of the role of context, risk, and protective factors for unintended pregnancy among women with disabilities.
