Abstract

Contraception 104 (2021) icaid expansion (n = 32, 63%). The average number of expansive policies by state increased from 6.2 in 2007 to 8.3 in 2017. States in the West and Northeast had the highest average number of (9.2 and 7.6 respectively) and increase in (2.7 each) expansive policies. States in the Midwest and West had the highest number of enacted restrictive policies (0.9 and 0.8). Conclusions: Regions with least restrictive sexual and reproductive health policy environments further expanded access, whereas more restrictive environments were maintained. More nuanced understanding of how contraceptive policy diffusion affects health outcomes and equity is needed to inform public health advocacy and law making.
