For the first time in the 21st century, we have an emerging body of research regarding contraceptive use among adult women with disabilities in the United States. We highlight key findings from population-based analyses that found higher odds of female sterilization and lower odds of long-acting reversible contraception use among women with disabilities compared to their peers without disabilities. We consider potential reasons underlying these differences, including discriminatory attitudes and policies that restrict the sexual and reproductive autonomy of people with disabilities. We advocate for a justice-based, intersectional approach to research on contraception and disability with the aim of promoting the reproductive autonomy of people with disabilities.
二十一世纪以来，我们首次在美国成年残疾女性的避孕使用方面获得了一系列新兴研究成果。我们重点介绍了基于人群的分析结果，这些结果发现与没有残疾的同龄人相比，残疾女性进行女性绝育的几率更高，而使用长效可逆避孕措施的几率更低。我们考虑了这些差异背后的潜在原因，包括限制残疾人士性和生殖自主权的歧视性态度和政策。我们倡导采取基于公正、交叉性的方法来研究避孕和残疾问题，以促进残疾人士的生殖自主权。
