Many women turn to crisis pregnancy centers despite concerns over misinformation

Many women turn to crisis pregnancy centers despite concerns over misinformation

A recent study conducted by Maria Gallo and her team from The Ohio State University revealed that between 12 and 20% of women with a history of pregnancy or testing for pregnancy visited crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) across four U.S. states. The findings of this study were published in PLOS One.

Crisis pregnancy centers are known for providing pregnancy and parenting resources, often associated with organizations that promote missions focused on preventing abortion, opposing contraception, and advocating for abstinence outside of marriage. While these centers are not typically medically licensed clinics, they are sometimes perceived as such, leading to the dissemination of inaccurate or misleading information about sexual and reproductive health.

The researchers utilized data from Surveys of Women conducted between 2018 and 2020 in four U.S. states: Arizona, Wisconsin, Iowa, and New Jersey. The data included responses from nearly 9,000 women. Among women who reported a history of pregnancy or testing for pregnancy, 11.6% to 20.2% reported visiting a CPC for pregnancy-related care. Attendance rates varied across the states, with Arizona having the highest attendance at 20.2% and New Jersey the lowest at 11.6%. Wisconsin and Iowa had attendance rates of approximately 14%.

Interestingly, the study found no significant correlation between CPC attendance and factors such as age, race/ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. These results are crucial in understanding the role of CPCs in pregnancy-related health, particularly as the landscape of reproductive health care evolves.

The authors of the study emphasized the importance of recognizing CPCs as unlicensed facilities that may pose as medical clinics. With increasing public funding for these centers, there is a growing concern about the spread of inaccurate health information. Healthcare providers need to be aware that their pregnant patients may have visited CPCs and been exposed to misinformation that requires correction.

In conclusion, the study sheds light on the prevalence of CPC attendance among women in the four states surveyed. As CPCs continue to play a role in reproductive health care, it is essential to address the misinformation they may propagate and ensure that pregnant individuals receive accurate and evidence-based information. The study was published in PLOS One and can be accessed for further information.
