- Abstract
<bold>Objective: </bold>To build a longitudinal state-level database on targeted regulation of abortion providers (TRAP) laws.<bold>Data Sources: </bold>Primary sources included state websites, Lexis Nexis Quicklaw, and WestlawNext. We used a range of secondary sources to pinpoint policy timing.<bold>Study Design: </bold>This was a state-level review of TRAP shifts from 1973 to present.<bold>Data Collection: </bold>We captured data on TRAP policy activity and timing, focusing specifically on ambulatory surgical center (ASC) laws, admitting privilege requirements, and transfer agreements.<bold>Principal Findings: </bold>Twenty-five states had ever enacted an ASC, admitting privilege, or transfer agreement law. Many currently face legal challenges.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>Targeted regulation of abortion providers laws are favored by many states as a way to regulate abortion provision. These data can be used to better understand the impact of these laws.
