目的：研究设计：我们确定了26个术语，我们预计有人可能会使用这些术语来在互联网上寻找关于自我堕胎的信息。在Google搜索引擎中输入这些术语的用户会通过Google AdWords获得我们调查的链接。我们在32天内进行了调查;如果用户从美国设备访问调查，则符合条件。我们检查了样本的人口统计学特征，搜索自我堕胎信息的原因，堕胎合法性和附近提供者的知识，以及表现最好的关键词。结果：我们的Google AdWords广告活动包含调查链接，显示了大约210，000次，点击了9，800次; 1，235名受访者完成了调查。样本中绝大多数是女性（96%），41%是未成年人。近四分之三（73%）的人表示，他们正在搜索信息，因为他们怀孕了，不想或可能不想怀孕。11%的人曾试图自行流产。三分之一的受访者不知道，如果堕胎是法律的，在他们的居住国，和合法性的知识并不因年龄而异。我们的研究结果表明，在那些谁参加了我们的调查，在线搜索信息的自我堕胎可能是由青少年和年轻人面临的意外怀孕。影响：年轻妇女，特别是，可能有一个未得到满足的需要有关安全和方便的堕胎选择的信息。(C)2018作者爱思唯尔公司出版
Objective: To examine the motivations and circumstances of individuals seeking information about self-abortion on the Internet.Study design: We identified 26 terms that we anticipated someone might use to find information about self-abortion on the internet. Users who entered these terms into the Google search engine were provided with a link to our survey via Google AdWords. We fielded the survey over a 32-day period; users were eligible if accessing the survey from a US-based device. We examined demographic characteristics of the sample, reasons for searching for information on self-abortion, knowledge of the legality of abortion and of nearby providers, and top performing keywords.Results: Our Google AdWords campaign containing the survey link was shown approximately 210,000 times, and clicked 9,800 times; 1,235 respondents completed the survey. The vast majority of the sample was female (96%), and 41% were minors. Almost three-quarters (73%) indicated that they were searching for information because they were pregnant and did not or may not want to be. Eleven percent had ever attempted to self-abort. One-third of respondents did not know if abortion was legal in their state of residence, and knowledge of legality did not differ by age.Conclusions: There is interest in learning more about self-abortion on the Internet. Our findings suggest that, among those who participated in our survey, online searches for information on self-abortion may be driven by adolescents and young adults facing an unintended pregnancy.Implications: Young women, in particular, may have an unmet need for information about safe and accessible abortion options.
