In this record-based study, rates of 1st-time outpatient mental health treatment for 4 years following an abortion or a birth among women receiving medical assistance through the state of California were compared. After controlling for preexisting psychological difficulties, age, months of eligibility, and the number of pregnancies, the rate of care was 17% higher for the abortion group (n = 14,297) in comparison with the birth group (n = 40,122). Within 90 days after the pregnancy, the abortion group had 63% more claims than the birth group, with the percentages equaling 42%, 30%, and 16% for 180 days, 1 year, and 2 years, respectively. Additional comparisons between the abortion and birth groups were conducted on the basis of claims for specific types of disorders and age.
在这项基于记录的研究中,我们比较了加利福尼亚州接受医疗救助的女性在堕胎或生育后4年内首次接受门诊心理健康治疗的比率。在控制了既往心理问题、年龄、符合资格的月数和怀孕次数后,堕胎组(n = 14297)的治疗率比生育组(n = 40122)高17%。在怀孕后的90天内,堕胎组的索赔比生育组多63%,在180天、1年和2年时,这一百分比分别为42%、30%和16%。我们还根据特定类型疾病的索赔和年龄对堕胎组和生育组进行了额外比较。
