During this time, the abortion rates both in West Virginia and for West Virginians experienced greater decreases compared to abortion rates in the South and United States (US). Patients in West Virginia had a lower percentage of abortions before 7\u2009weeks (22%) compared to 41% in the region and 38% nationally. Patients in West Virginia had proportionally more aspiration abortions (79% compared to 70% in the South and US) until 2019, when state trends began to resemble regional and national trends. By 2020, a majority (52%) of all abortions for West Virginia residents occurred out of state, compared to 14% in the South and 9% in the US.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Abortion restrictions and a clinic closure coincided with decreased abortions at earlier gestational durations, increased use of medication abortion, and more out\u2010of\u2010state travel to a wider variety of states.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/psrh.70093","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,29]],"date-time":"2026-09-29T00:45:50Z","timestamp":1790642750000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Trends in Abortion Utilization in West Virginia During a Period of Increased Abortion Restrictions, 2013\u20132020"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"given":"Cynthia","family":"Beavin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sociology University of Cincinnati  Cincinnati Ohio USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mikaela H.","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Epidemiology The Ohio State University, College of Public Health  Columbus Ohio USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shanan","family":"Ashton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine West Virginia University  Morgantown West Virginia USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Valarie","family":"Blake","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Tennessee, College of Law  Knoxville Tennessee USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alison H.","family":"Norris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Epidemiology The Ohio State University, College of Public Health  Columbus Ohio USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Danielle","family":"Bessett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sociology University of Cincinnati  Cincinnati Ohio USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michelle L.","family":"McGowan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Quantitative Health Sciences Mayo Clinic, Biomedical Ethics Research Program  Rochester Minnesota USA"},{"name":"Department of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies University of Cincinnati  Cincinnati Ohio USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamainternmed.2025.2070"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.lana.2022.100214"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.whi.2014.05.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13691058.2023.2179666"},{"issue":"6","key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","first-page":"555","article-title":"Trends in Rates of Live Births and Abortions Following State Restrictions on Public Funding of Abortion","volume":"105","author":"Korenbrot C.
