Researchers with Ohio Policy Evaluation Network (OPEN) are interviewing folks in Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia who have had trouble getting an abortion since June 2022. Through the interviews, we hope to better understand the experiences of people seeking abortion in our region after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
