Abstract

In 1975, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) issued the report, Legalized Abortion and the Public Health: Report of a Study. The report contained a comprehensive analysis of the then available scientific evidence on the impact of abortion on the health of the public. Since 1975, there have been substantial changes in the U.S. healthcare delivery system and in medical science. In addition, practices for abortion care have changed, including the introduction of new techniques and technologies. An updated systematic and independent analysis of today’s available evidence has not been conducted. An ad hoc consensus committee of the Health and Medicine Division (HMD), which as of March 2016 continues the consensus studies and convening activities previously carried out by the IOM, will produce a comprehensive report on the current state of the science related to the provision of safe, high quality abortion services in the United States. The committee will consider the following questions and offer findings and recommendations: 1) What types of legal abortion services are available in the United States? What is the evidence regarding which services are appropriate under different clinical circumstances (e.g.,
