Study Purpose

The purpose of this study was to create an understanding of health impacts on reproductive care following Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.

Study Design

RHEA used a two-phase stratified probability sampling design from a frame of residential mailing addresses to obtain a nationally representative sample of the target population. The sampling frame for this address-based sampling (ABS) design is a version of the U.S. Postal Service's Computerized Delivery Sequence File (CDS) of mailing addresses. RHEA used the April 2024 version of the CDS, which NORC geocoded in its entirety prior to sample selection.

Sample

Data were collected from a national sample, including an oversample of 13 focal states of policy interest. The project used an address-based sample (ABS) and multi-mode approach to collect data from more than 50,000 eligible respondents.

Time Method

Cross-sectional

Universe

All persons assigned female at birth, ages 18 through 49, residing at a residential mailing address in the Unites States.

2026-03-11 ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:

  • Created variable labels and/or value labels.

Weight

Survey weights were developed through a multi-step process that included adjustments for sampling probabilities, unknown eligibility, nonresponse, and within-household selection. Final weights were calibrated using raking to align the sample with known population benchmarks. Weight variables in the data include W2 to W6FINAL.
