Studies have illustrated crisis pregnancy centers' (CPC) disingenuous practices regarding abortion services. We evaluated the proportion of patients who visited a CPC before their abortion in Los Angeles.
Patients attending one of two abortion clinics between July 2019 and March 2020 were recruited for a survey that examined patient characteristics and locations of care.
Five hundred eleven respondents participated (62% response rate). Less than 1% of individuals visited a CPC before their abortion. Fifty-three percent of survey respondents obtained their abortion within one visit, 39% within two unique clinic visits, and eight percent visited three or more clinics.
CPC visits before abortion were uncommon in our patient population.
研究表明，危机怀孕中心（CPC）在堕胎服务方面存在不诚实的行为。我们评估了在洛杉矶堕胎前访问 CPC 的患者比例。
2019 年 7 月至 2020 年 3 月期间，我们招募了在两家堕胎诊所就诊的患者参与一项调查，该调查检查了患者特征和护理地点。
共有 511 名受访者（响应率为 62%）参与。在堕胎前访问 CPC 的人不到 1%。53%的调查受访者在一次就诊中完成了堕胎，39%在两次独特的诊所就诊中完成，8%在三次或更多次就诊中完成。
在我们的患者群体中，堕胎前访问 CPC 的情况并不常见。
