The Turnaway Study is ANSIRH’s prospective longitudinal study examining the effects of unwanted pregnancy on women’s lives. The major aim of the study is to describe the mental health, physical health, and socioeconomic consequences of receiving an abortion compared to carrying an unwanted pregnancy to term. The main finding of The Turnaway Study is that receiving an abortion does not harm the health and wellbeing of women, but in fact, being denied an abortion results in worse financial, health and family

Before the Turnaway Study, there was little quality research on the physical and social consequences of unwanted pregnancy for women. Most of the research that did exist focused on whether abortion causes mental health problems such as depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, or alcohol and drug use. That body of work often used inappropriate comparisons groups—comparing, for example, women who obtain abortions with those who continue their pregnancies to term by choice—and used retrospective designs

ANSIRH has published more than fifty scientific papers in peer-reviewed journals using data from the Turnaway Study. Our  annotated bibliography  provides a complete list of publications. Issue briefs on the  mental health  and  socioeconomic consequences  of having an abortion versus carrying an unwanted pregnancy to term are also available in Spanish ( salud mental  and  resultados socioeconómicos ).
