The data for n=1415 people are presented.

^aParticipants were considered interested in over-the-counter progestin-only pill use if they reported “yes” (vs “no” or “don’t know”) to a question asking if they would use a birth control pill that only had progestin that they could buy over the counter (without a prescription)

^bRespondents could select multiple responses for gender identity, sexual orientation, and race and ethnicity. Categories include anyone who selected that option and, as such, respondents can be represented in more than one category for each of these characteristics

^cRespondents who selected cisgender woman and/or woman also selected at least 1 other gender identity other than cisgender woman or woman and were therefore eligible for inclusion in our sample.
