for the Self-Managed Abortion Needs Assessment (SANA) Project  
Project SANA — the Self-Managed Abortion Needs Assessment Project — at the University of Texas at Austin brings together a diverse group of researchers to examine the “who, what, and why” of self-managed medication abortion in the United States. While self-management has risen to prominence in the past year due to the implementation of state-level abortion bans, it was prevalent prior to the Dobbs decision because many in the U.S., and particularly people with low incomes and people of color, the right to choose abortion was already a right that existed on paper only. Project SANA’s research has consistently shown that when states implement restrictive abortion policies and move in-clinic care further out of reach, demand for self-managed abortion increases.
