Emily Boniface is a PhD student in Health Systems and Policy at the OHSU-PSU School of Public Health in Portland, Oregon. She received an MPH in Biostatistics and continues to work as a biostatistician in the Obstetrics and Gynecology department at Oregon Health & Science University, where she collaborates on a wide range of projects focused on family planning and reproductive health. She has extensive experience with advanced statistical methods, complex study designs, and datasets of all sizes. Her professional goal is to use rigorous quantitative methodology to contribute to evidence-based policymaking, document harms of poorly conceived policies, and ultimately support equitable access to and utilization of sexual and reproductive health care, health outcomes, and broader measures of well-being. Emily’s project will fill a crucial gap in our knowledge about the impacts of the Dobbs decision and subsequent state-level abortion bans by quantifying household-level economic impacts and how they may differ for those already struggling financially due to historic marginalization based on race and ethnicity and immigration status. The study expands and improves on previous work by using nationally representative data and attention to the intersection of abortion policy, pre-existing poverty, race and ethnicity, and immigration status in households with and without children. The results will provide an estimate of the percent increase in household poverty in ban states compared to non-ban states attributable to abortion bans, an easily interpretable statistic that can directly inform advocacy and policy aimed at protecting reproductive autonomy as well as promoting economic equity.
