Purpose:
Inaccurate beliefs about medication abortion (MA) are common. This study evaluated pilot data from a community-led media intervention designed to increase MA knowledge among Black and Latinx women in Georgia.
Methods:
Participants (N=855) viewed the intervention video and completed pre-post surveys. Data were analyzed using linear and logistic regression.
Results:
Knowledge scores significantly increased from 3.88/5.00 to 4.47/5.00. Participants who were Native American, Asian and Pacific Islander, multiracial, Black, <20 years old, and living in Georgia scored below the sample mean at baseline; however, nearly all disparities disappeared after intervention exposure.
Conclusions:
This intervention effectively increased MA knowledge and narrowed racial/ethnic, age-based, and geographic disparities.
