PR: Prevalence ratio from Poisson regression model that adjusted for age, gender, race/ethnicity and education; CI: confidence interval.

^a. The information group read a statement describing the safety of office-based abortion prior to the passage of Texas House Bill 2 (HB 2) before answering questions about the ASC requirement. They also read a second statement describing physician practices before HB 2, as well as the law’s impact on the number of abortion providers after its passage before answering questions about the admitting privileges requirement. The group without information did not see these statements before answering the same questions about the two requirements.
