Interviews explored procedures for documenting parental involvement, minors\u2019 and parents\u2019 reactions to requirements, and challenges with implementation and compliance. Both inductive and deductive codes, informed by the <jats:italic>Institute of Medicine\u2019s<\/jats:italic> healthcare quality framework, were used in the thematic analysis.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Parental involvement laws adversely affected four quality care domains: efficiency, patient-centeredness, timeliness, and equity. Administrative inefficiencies stemmed from the extensive documentation needed to prove an adult\u2019s relationship to a minor, increasing the time and effort needed to comply with state reporting requirements. If parents were not supportive of their minor\u2019s decision, participants felt they had a duty to intervene to ensure the minor\u2019s decision and needs remained centered. Staff further noted that delays to timely care accumulated as minors navigated parental involvement and other state mandates, pushing some beyond gestational age limits. Lower income families and those with complex familial arrangements had greater difficulty meeting state requirements.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Parental involvement mandates undermine health service delivery and quality for minors seeking abortion services in the Southeast.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Policy Implications<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Removing parental involvement requirements would protect minors\u2019 reproductive autonomy and support the provision of equitable, patient-centered healthcare.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s13178-021-00539-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,14]],"date-time":"2021-02-14T04:03:09Z","timestamp":1613275389000},"page":"264-272","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Parental Involvement Policies for Minors Seeking Abortion in the Southeast and Quality of Care"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6463-8626","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kari","family":"White","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Subasri","family":"Narasimhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sophie","family":"A.
