Abstract
Objective
To assess knowledge of abortion medications by mail among a sample of patients accessing abortion care at brick-and-mortar clinics.
Study design
We analyze survey data from 359 patients at 6 abortion clinics across the United States.
Results
One-third of respondents knew that abortion medications could be mailed to any address in the United States. Compared to residents, a slightly lower proportion of people who traveled from out of state knew about online pills. Most respondents who knew about online pills (54%) went to a clinic because they wanted an in-person appointment.
Conclusions
There is a continued need for campaigns to increase awareness of medication abortion by mail.
