Comparison of abortion incidence estimates derived from direct survey questions versus the list experiment among women in Ohio

Abstract: Abortion is highly stigmatized in the United States which prevents its accurate measurement in surveys. The list experiment aims to improve the reporting of abortion history. We evaluated whether a list experiment resulted in higher reporting of abortion experiences than did two direct questions. Utilizing data from a representative survey of adult women of reproductive age in Ohio, we examined abortion history using two direct questions and a double list experiment. Through the double list experiment, we aske… Show more

“…Efforts outside the United States have often relied on indirect estimation methods or methods that obscure individual respondents' answers (such as the list experiment); however, these approaches generally can only estimate overall prevalence, as they cannot be linked to individual women's reports 3,28 . These methods have had inconsistent results and few U.S. applications exist 29–31 . European studies have made some efforts to alter question‐wording or order to improve abortion, but with limited impact 4,5 .…”

“… 3 , 28 These methods have had inconsistent results and few U.S. applications exist. 29 , 30 , 31 European studies have made some efforts to alter question‐wording or order to improve abortion, but with limited impact. 4 , 5 Given the persistent problems of substantial abortion underreporting and minimal advances in abortion measurement in the United States in more than two decades, we designed several new approaches to eliciting abortion reporting and tested each in an individual‐level national survey.…”
