Guttmacher Institute: The Continuing Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic in the United States
2021
This report from Guttmacher Institute details the 2021 findings from the Guttmacher Survey of Reproductive Health Experiences (GHSHRE), which involved surveying a national sample of people in the United States about the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their sexual and reproductive health, behaviors, and access to care. The 2021 report focuses on two critical areas of sexual and reproductive health, fertility preferences and access to care, and involves an expanded sample of survey respondents to include the broader range of gender identities, as well as race and income. The report finds that the pandemic continues to impact fertility preferences and restricts access to sexual and reproductive healthcare, disproportionately impacting the health of respondents of color, LGBT+ respondents, and lower-income individuals. The report explores the impact of innovation in healthcare delivery, including the use of telehealth, and provides several policy recommendations aimed toward reducing inequities in sexual and reproductive health.
