Supporting OB-GYNs practicing in states with abortion restrictions just got a little easier, thanks to new recommendations published in JAMA.
Mara Buchbinder and Kavita Arora, with Erika L. Sabbath (at Boston College and Harvard University), just published “Supporting OB-GYNs in Abortion-Restrictive States—A Playbook for Institutions.”
The article offers recommendations that institutions can use to “support and retain OB-GYNs” in practice after the Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization (2022) decision.
Buchbinder shared that “One of the most important findings from our research was that institutional practices and policies mediate the way that individual OB-GYNs experience abortion restrictions. Is it understandable that many OB-GYNs feel hopeless and demoralized in the wake of Dobbs. But our research points to practical things that hospitals can do to support OB-GYNs and improve their personal and professional wellbeing.”
