Overview: The presentation is about a survey aimed at exploring reproductive coercion in the UK, as part of an exploratory sequential mixed methods study. The first qualitative study demonstrated that nurses identified in their talk ‘international’ Muslim men as more inclined to participate in reproductive coercion. Thus implying ‘international’ Muslim women experience reproductive coercion more so than their white British counterparts. However, this myth failed to be supported by the second study, which was a quantitative exploration of the adapted scale items with 397 people with a womb responding.  This preliminary data suggests that once re-validated and adapted the scale can be used as an unbiased screening tool by health professionals to promote reproductive justice.

Content warnings and keywords: While this study does not include rich detail on reproductive coercion, given the second study’s finding anyone can be at risk of reproductive coercion, this topic may be upsetting to some who have personally experienced this. Also, discussing reproductive coercion may be distressing for some people. Reproductive Coercion, Scale Adaptation, Scale Re-validation, Reproductive Justice, People with a Womb
