Out-of-state travel for abortion in New England: Identifying support strategies

With increasingly restrictive abortion access in many states, more people are traveling to New England for abortion care. The long-term goal of this project is to identify strategies to improve access to abortion for those traveling for care. In this initial phase of the project we will interview abortion care workers in New England about their experiences supporting people traveling from out of state for care. Findings will be shared in a meeting with community partners to discuss further research needs and identify strategies to increase access. The research team includes Northeastern researcher Brianna Keefe-Oates, Josie Pinto, Executive Director of the Reproductive Freedom Fund of New Hampshire, and Kimika Ross, Co-Executive Director of Tides for Reproductive Freedom.
