目标.评估2008年至2014年人口群体中堕胎的流行率及其变化。我们使用来自堕胎患者调查、美国社区调查和全国家庭增长调查的二级数据来估计堕胎率。我们使用堕胎患者调查的信息来估计一生中的堕胎发生率。2008年至2014年期间，堕胎率下降了25%，从每1000名15至44岁妇女中的19.4人降至14.6人。15至19岁青少年的堕胎率下降了46%，是所有年龄组中下降最多的。所有种族和族裔群体的堕胎率都有所下降，但非白色妇女的堕胎率高于非西班牙裔白色妇女。虽然收入低于联邦贫困线100%的妇女的堕胎率下降了26%，但这一人群的堕胎率是所有被调查群体中最高的：36.6%。如果2014年的特定年龄堕胎率占主导地位，24%的15至44岁的妇女将在45岁之前堕胎。堕胎率的下降在所有人口群体中并不一致。
Objectives. To assess the prevalence of abortion among population groups and changes in rates between 2008 and 2014.Methods. We used secondary data from the Abortion Patient Survey, the American Community Survey, and the National Survey of Family Growth to estimate abortion rates. We used information from the Abortion Patient Survey to estimate the lifetime incidence of abortion.Results. Between 2008 and 2014, the abortion rate declined 25%, from 19.4 to 14.6 per 1000 women aged 15 to 44 years. The abortion rate for adolescents aged 15 to 19 years declined 46%, the largest of any group. Abortion rates declined for all racial and ethnic groups but were larger for non-White women than for non-Hispanic White women. Although the abortion rate decreased 26% for women with incomes less than 100% of the federal poverty level, this population had the highest abortion rate of all the groups examined: 36.6. If the 2014 age-specific abortion rates prevail, 24% of women aged 15 to 44 years in that year will have an abortion by age 45 years.Conclusions. The decline in abortion was not uniform across all population groups.
