Anna Newton-Levinson wins grant to study consequences of abortion restrictions

October 20, 2024

Anna Newton-Levinson, assistant professor of gynecology and obstetrics in the School of Medicine, has received an NIH grant to measure and assess the consequences of state abortion restrictions on pregnancy loss management practices and outcomes. The grant also aims to understand the impact of abortion restrictions on other pregnancy care, as well as its effect on existing racial and socio-economic care disparities. The grant will also be used to provide new tools for improved surveillance of pregnancy loss and management practices. The findings will fill knowledge gaps and provide critical insights that may guide future organizational and state policy.
