Fewer rural health providers offer abortion services than a decade ago. It is unknown how the reduction in service availability has affected women's pregnancy outcomes, the extent to which they must travel to obtain an abortion or whether abortions are delayed as a result.

PIP: The availability and outcome of abortion services as of 1983-84 and 1993-94 in rural Washington State were investigated. The population data include birth, fetal death and pregnancy termination which came from the vital statistics data compiled by Washington State. Results showed that birth rates and abortion rates decreased throughout the state from 1983-84 to 1993-94. The magnitude of the drop in abortion rates was significantly greater in rural than in urban women (p 0.01). The rural abortion rate fell 27% compared with a 17% drop in the urban rate. The declination in the abortion rate was larger for adolescents than other age groups. The abortion rate for adolescents aged 10-19 years dropped 35% in rural areas and 28% in urban areas. 12 miles increased the distance that rural women traveled to obtain abortion. The proportion of rural women having abortions decreased significantly from 25% to 3%. During 1983-84, 62% traveled 50 miles to obtain abortion compared with 73% in 1993-94. In both time periods, the proportion of rural women who traveled out of state for an abortion increased from 8% to 14%. Furthermore, the proportion of women terminating their pregnancy after the first trimester increased from 8% in 1983-84 to 15% in 1993-94. More work is needed to understand the relationships among provider availability, other factors influencing decision-making and pregnancy outcomes.
