The objective of this study was to describe risk of unintended pregnancy among women with previous history of sexual violence by disability and race/ethnicity. Findings suggest that targeted efforts are needed to address the prevalence and consequences of sexual violence, including unintended pregnancy. Existing research finds that unintended pregnancies are associated with adverse health behaviors and outcomes. These findings thus underscore the importance of accessible services for racial/ethnic minority women with disabilities.
