背景 在最近的罗伊诉韦德案判决之后，我们进行了谷歌趋势分析，以确定这一判决对美国避孕选择利益的影响。方法 2022 年 4 月 6 日至 7 月 5 日期间，以美国为关注区域，使用五种最流行的避孕选择进行谷歌趋势搜索。此外，使用口服和注射激素节育措施进行了第二次趋势搜索。结果趋势显示，判决公布后，人们对各种避孕方法的兴趣立即激增。人们对“输精管结扎术”的兴趣增幅最高，其次是“输卵管结扎术”。对于口服和注射避孕措施，人们对“紧急避孕药”的兴趣明显飙升。结论 这一判决引发了人们对避孕措施的更大兴趣，通过适当的公共卫生举措，这可以转化为更好的生殖健康。
Background In the wake of the recent Roe vs. Wade judgment, we performed a Google Trends analysis to identify the impact of this decision on the interests regarding contraceptive choices in the United States. Methods A Google Trends search between April 6 and July 5, 2022, with the United States as the area of interest, was performed using the five most popular contraception choices. In addition, a second trend search was performed using oral and injectable hormonal birth control measures. Results Trends showed a spike in interest regarding various contraceptive methods immediately following the verdict. The highest increase in interest was noted for “vasectomy,” followed by “tubal ligation.” With respect to oral and injectable birth control measures, “morning after pill” showed a marked spike in interest. Conclusion This verdict has triggered increased interest in contraceptive practices, which can be translated into better reproductive health with proper public health initiatives.
