Zandberg et al used 1974 to 2016 US data on state-level abortion-access restrictions and suicide rates to evaluate the association between abortion restrictions and suicide among women of reproductive age. By examining the relative timing of state-level changes in abortion restrictions and suicide rates, using difference-in-differences analysis and controlling for other variables, one can estimate an association of restrictions with suicide, under the assumption that underlying trends due to other factors in states with vs states without new restrictions are otherwise comparable. The Zandberg et al primary analysis provides evidence that enforcement of a Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers (TARP) law was subsequently associated with 5.81% higher state-level suicide rates compared with years before such enforcement. While analyses of this type are always subject to the possibility of changes in trends being attributable to some third factor, Zandberg et al control for a number of reasonable candidates and conducted sensitivity analyses indicating that these associations were observed for reproductive-aged women but not for a control group of older women of postreproductive age. They cite evidence that restrictions in access were associated with greater stress and anxiety and extend evidence to suicide rates. The results are of further relevance with the overturning of Roe v Wade and the resulting increase in abortion-access restrictions in many states.
