Do you want to share your experience and contribute to the knowledge about self-managed abortion to help others going through the same experience? We are seeking participants for a study to better understand the experiences and perspectives of Latin American or Caribbean migrants who have considered or have self-managed their abortions in the United States.
We define self-managed abortion as any action taken to end a pregnancy outside of a healthcare setting. For example, by taking abortion pills obtained online or from another source (e.g., friends, family, a community organization), using herbs, or using other methods.
Be 18 years of age or older.
Have been born in a Latin American or Caribbean country and currently reside in the US.
Have considered or undergone a self-managed abortion after June 2022.
Be willing to share your experience confidentially.
If you accept to participate in this study, you will participate in an online interview with us.
During the interview, you will:
Answer a brief questionnaire for about 10 minutes.
Chat with the interviewer for around 60 minutes.
Both the questionnaire and interview will take place at a time and date that works best for you. You can join the interview from your computer, tablet, or phone. We do not require that you turn on your camera during the interview.
