The authors described care experiences of 1600 telehealth abortion patients in 2021 to 2022 and used logistic regression to explore differences by race or ethnicity and between synchronous (phone or video) and asynchronous (secure messaging) telehealth abortion care. Findings suggest that telehealth abortion care is highly acceptable, and benefits include privacy and expediency.
