Depression and Unintended Pregnancy in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth: A Cohort Study British Medical Journal 324,7330 (January 2002): 151-152.

Psychological maladjustments after abortion are significantly associated with a history of depression. It has been suggested that prior psychological state is equally predictive of subsequent depression among women with unintended pregnancies regardless of whether they abort or carry to term. To examine this hypothesis we examined the National Longitudinal Study of Youth begun in 1979 with a nationwide cohort of 12,686 American youths aged 14-21. |
