Abstract: The purpose of this honors project is to provide a systematic review of reproductive coercion research published through 2021. A search will be done using PubMed, Scopus and Proquest Search. The results will then be imported into Covidence, a systematic review management program. Throughout the screening process, a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) flow chart will be used to visualize the narrowing of the literature to the final number of reviewed publications. The PRISMA flow chart will be included in the final systematic review. The studies will be organized using a matrix with five sections. The five sections will consist of authors, sample, methods/instruments, major findings, and a final column to detail the outcome variables used in each individual study (e.g., birth control sabotage, pregnancy pressure, pregnancy outcome pressure, or all three, or one, etc.). The studies will be separated between those that are descriptive of the concept and those that tested an intervention. This tool will be used to synthesize the most up-to-date reproductive coercion literature and find any gaps within the literature. The main goal of this research is to add to the body of knowledge and literature so that future researchers have access to the all published primary research on reproductive coercion and their findings.
