We used a diff-in-diff design analyzing state-level data from 1974-2016. ↓↓ access to abortions were associated with ↑↑ #suicide rates in women ages 20-34. This association was specific & was not observed for post reproductive women & not observed for death d/t car crashes.

Thank you Michael DePeau-Wilson for covering our work.

Reflecting on feedback we got on our recent paper showing ↓↓ access to abortion = ↑↑ #suicide among young women jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…. ↑↑ environmental #stress = ↑↑ suicide risk & we considered ↓↓ abortion access to be a stressor. #exposome is key to #suicide risk

Thank you People for covering our study.
