Mental health and work-related wellbeing of U.S. obstetrician-gynecologists in a shifting policy climate

: The proposed study is a three-year mixed methods study of the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court's Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, and subsequent changes to state reproductive health policies, on mental health and work-related wellbeing of OB/GYNs. We will study how workplace factors, and organizational policies and practices, may lessen the impact of restrictive state policies on OB/GYNs' mental health, work-related wellbeing, and turnover intention. We will undertake a convergent mixed-method design, in which we will conduct a quantitative survey and qualitative interviews simultaneously. We will then conduct key informant interviews of OB/GYN and hospital leaders to determine the best methods and pathways for dissemination of findings.
