目的：描述与使用马萨诸塞州司法旁路系统相关的个人层面的堕胎延迟，该系统使法律的未成年人（年龄17岁或以下）在没有父母或法律的监护人同意的情况下进行堕胎，这是在马萨诸塞州的父母同意堕胎法中规定的。我们对2010年至2016年期间在全州范围内的大型堕胎诊所网络中进行的2，026例未成年人堕胎进行了回顾性队列研究。延迟被定义为未成年人的第一次打电话到诊所安排堕胎之间的日历天数，并在堕胎的一天received.RESULTS：在研究人群中，1,559（77%）堕胎获得父母同意和467（23%）使用司法旁路。司法绕过后的堕胎在西班牙裔、非西班牙裔黑人或其他种族的未成年人、社会经济地位低的人（如有医疗保险的人）以及有过生育或堕胎史的人中更为常见（所有P
