After airing, we resurveyed respondents (including both those who had and had not viewed the target episode). We tested three hypotheses: episode exposure would (1) improve abortion knowledge and (2) increase support for medication abortion and decrease support for self\u2010induced abortion, and (3) the effects on knowledge and supportive intention would be moderated by state support for abortion. We used independent samples\n                      <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\n                      tests to examine hypotheses 1 and 2 and PROCESS macro to test the moderated effects (hypothesis 3).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results of the pretest\/posttest analysis indicated that exposure to the episode significantly improved medication abortion knowledge.
