Abstract:
We evaluated the impact of Indiana's abortion ban on Indiana's statewide contraceptive access initiative (PATH4YOU). We analyzed data from 3,012 participants between September 2021-2025 (1,073 pre-ban; 1,939 post-ban), including visit type, contraception method selected, and rural-urban commuting area (RUCA) code. There was no difference in overall long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) use rates (49% pre-ban vs 48% post-ban, p = 0.55), but LARC use increased significantly in mixed RUCA codes (34% to 44%, p = 0.04). Telehealth utilization and participation from mixed and rural communities also increased post-ban, suggesting structural barriers influence contraceptive behavior beyond abortion policy.
