Concentrating on the psychological outcomes of women who have had an abortion, Dr. Coleman’s current research focuses on women’s
responses to induced abortion including suicide rates, mental health claims, and substance use/abuse differentials. Results
from this research indicate that induced abortion may present greater mental health risks to the woman, as compared to birth.
Additional research has focused on mother-child interaction, attachment, and parenting self-efficacy beliefs.
