We assessed whether prior experiences of medical mistreatment are associated with interest in and support for OTC MA among people seeking abortion care in the United States (US).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We analyzed cross-sectional survey data from 9 US abortion facilities from June 2021 to December 2022, among people seeking in-person abortion\u2009\u2265\u200915 years old who spoke English or Spanish. Participants completed surveys on demographics, clinical characteristics, OTC MA interest\/support, and prior experiences of medical mistreatment and their effects on subsequent care-seeking. We conducted unadjusted and adjusted regression analyses examining associations between history of medical mistreatment (none, having been ignored and\/or ridiculed by healthcare providers, and having delayed or forgone care due to prior mistreatment) and interest in and support for OTC MA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 1,360 respondents, 39% reported prior experiences of medical mistreatment, of whom 48% (258\/537) had delayed care and 40% (215\/537) had forgone care due to mistreatment. Overall, 72% expressed interest in and 85% supported OTC MA. In adjusted analyses, compared to people with no history of medical mistreatment, a larger proportion of participants who had delayed or forgone care (302\/1,360, 22%) due to prior mistreatment expressed personal interest in (82.8%, [95% Confidence Interval 77.0%-88.6%] vs. 67.5% [61.4%-73.6%]) and support for (93.7% [89.9%-97.5%] vs. 80.5% [74.7%-86.3%]) OTC MA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Many patients seeking abortion care in the US have previously experienced medical mistreatment and find OTC MA appealing, especially those who have delayed or forgone healthcare due to previous mistreatment.
