Researchers describe hardships experienced by abortion patients, examining administrative health cases from 2010 to 2015 in the United States. All patients received financial assistance from an abortion fund to help pay for abortion. Case data were analyzed to assess types and numbers of hardships experienced by age, race, and geographic origin. Hardships ranged from homelessness to parenting multiple children. Patients from the geographic South experienced the most hardships, followed by those from the Midwest. Hardships experienced by abortion fund patients are like those reported in other samples of abortion patients; hardships potentially cause or exacerbate trauma. Results are discussed in the context of a trauma-informed perspective.
研究人员描述了堕胎患者所经历的艰难困苦，研究了2010年至2015年美国的行政医疗案例。所有患者都从堕胎基金获得了经济援助，以帮助支付堕胎费用。对病例数据进行了分析，以评估不同年龄、种族和地理来源所经历的艰难困苦的类型和数量。艰难困苦的范围从无家可归到养育多个孩子。来自美国南部地区的患者经历的艰难困苦最多，其次是来自中西部地区的患者。堕胎基金患者所经历的艰难困苦与其他堕胎患者样本中报告的情况类似；这些艰难困苦可能会导致创伤或使创伤加剧。研究结果是在创伤知情的视角下进行讨论的。
