| Abstract: | Objective: To document the information on medication abortion on university Student Health Center (SHC) websites. Study Sample: Four-year bachelors granting public universities' Student Health Center websites. Methods: We conduct thematic content analysis for medication abortion-related information on 547 SHC websites in the United States as of August 2022 using computer-assisted software. We validate the software with human annotation. Results: Medication abortion is mentioned on 23 (4%) university SHC websites, and in 13 (57%) of these websites, it is only mentioned to exclude it from definitions of emergency contraception. Only two websites, 6% of the California public schools included in the sample, advertise medication abortion services through their SHC websites. One hundred fifteen (21%) university websites provide links to Planned Parenthood that gives information on how to navigate abortion access across all 50 states. Conclusion: There is inadequate information on SHC websites regarding medication abortion services and how to access them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
