| الوصف: | Context: A lack of consensus in the literature examining reproductive health experiences of women with disability prevails, in part, due to various operational definitions of disability. Methods: Results from the 2015?2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were utilized to assess reproductive health, disability, and demographic variables among women aged 20?44. Disability was assessed using the six functional limitation subgroups. Analyses included modified Poisson regression and negative binomial regression. Results: One hundred eighty-two (14%) women reported having any functional limitation. Women with at least one functional limitation (WWFL) were significantly more likely than women without a functional limitation (WWOFL) to have had a hysterectomy and had more cesarean deliveries. WWFL did not differ significantly from WWOFL in key pregnancy outcomes (ever been pregnant, number of pregnancies, or number of unsuccessful pregnancies). A high degree of overlap between mobility and self-care (66.1%), cognitive and independent living (61%), and mobility and independent living (37.4%) limitations was found. Conclusions: This work summarizes key reproductive health variables among US women of reproductive age and contextualizes disability experiences through subgroup and overlap analysis. Subgroup analysis results demonstrate the need for detailed operational definitions of disability to accurately capture experiences of women with different limitations, and overlap analysis indicates the interconnectedness of limitations among this group. Findings call for future exploration of reproductive health-related similarities and differences between WWD and women without disability, and employment of detailed operational definitions of disability. |
