本文介绍了一项研究美国青少年和成人堕胎基金服务接受者之间差异的研究结果。利用国家堕胎基金网络 2010 年至 2015 年的现有案例数据 (N=3,288)，进行了二次数据分析，以确定接受经济援助以帮助支付堕胎费用的青少年 (n=481) 和成人堕胎患者 (n=2,807) 的经历是否不同。费舍尔的精确检验检查了二分变量的差异，回归检查了程序成本、患者资源和获得堕胎的预期旅行距离的差异。结果显示，该数据集中大部分青少年为非裔美国人，青少年更有可能因缺乏避孕措施和强奸而寻求堕胎，而成年患者更有可能因避孕失败和伴侣暴力而寻求堕胎。使用创伤知情框架讨论结果。
The results of a study examining differences between U.S. adolescent and adult abortion fund service recipients are presented in this paper. Using existing case data from 2010 to 2015 from the National Network of Abortion Funds (N=3,288), a secondary data analysis was conducted to determine whether or not the experiences of adolescent (n=481) and adult abortion patients (n=2,807) who received financial assistance to help pay for an abortion differed. Fisher's exact tests examined differences in dichotomous variables, and regression examined differences in procedural costs, patient resources and expected travel distances to obtain an abortion. Results show that a greater proportion of adolescents in this data set identified as African American, and that adolescents were more likely to report seeking an abortion due to lack of contraception, and rape, while adult patients were more likely to be seeking an abortion due to contraceptive failure and partner violence. Results are discussed using a trauma-informed framework.
