Select a state below to learn more about its current sexual and reproductive health landscape.

The RHEA project is designed to rigorously assess the impact of the Dobbs ruling on abortion and broader reproductive health access and experiences in the US, which differ drastically across states.

To capture this variation, our research produces evidence of reproductive health access and experiences in 13 states while centering on communities excluded from reproductive health research and policy conversations. These insights complement our national-level findings.

The 13 study states represent restrictive and protective reproductive health policy environments and a mix of geographies, racial and ethnic compositions, and political contexts. Seven states were previously studied in the Survey of Women, allowing us to investigate changes.

We gather state-specific evidence through analysis of the RHEA survey; follow-up interviews with a few survey participants; stakeholder interviews with policymakers, advocates, and providers; and community focus groups in each study state. The insights we gather can be used to inform policy changes and improve access to high-quality sexual and reproductive health care.
