Abstract

Purpose: Inaccurate beliefs about medication abortion (MA) are common. This study evaluated pilot data from a community-led media intervention designed to increase MA knowledge among Black and Latinx women in Georgia.

Methods: Participants (N=855) viewed the intervention video and completed pre-post surveys. Data were analyzed using linear and logistic regression.

Results: Knowledge scores significantly increased from 3.88/5.00 to 4.47/5.00. Participants who were Native American, Asian and Pacific Islander, multiracial, Black, <20 years old, and living in Georgia scored below the sample mean at baseline; however, nearly all disparities disappeared after intervention exposure.

Conclusions: This intervention effectively increased MA knowledge and narrowed racial/ethnic, age-based, and geographic disparities.

我的健康我做主通过社区主导的媒体干预，提高药物流产知识并消除差异。

目的：关于药物流产（MA）的不准确观念很常见。本研究评估了一项社区主导的媒体干预措施的试点数据，该措施旨在提高佐治亚州黑人和拉丁裔妇女对药物流产的认识：参与者（N=855）观看了干预视频并完成了事后调查。采用线性回归和逻辑回归对数据进行分析：结果：知识得分从 3.88/5.00 显著提高到 4.47/5.00。美国原住民、亚太岛民、多种族、黑人的参与者均得出结论："我们的干预措施有效地增加了人们对 MA 的了解，缩小了人们对 MA 的了解范围：这项干预措施有效地提高了人们对保健知识的了解，缩小了种族/民族、年龄和地域之间的差距。
