The ADAPT study investigates the consequences for individuals unable to attain their pregnancy and childbearing preferences using a nested prospective cohort design. The ADAPT Study Cohort is comprised of 2015 individuals aged 15–34 years, assigned female at birth, recruited between 2019 and 2022 from 23 health facilities in the southwestern United States of America, in five states: Arizona, southeastern California, Nevada, New Mexico and West Texas. The cohort has been followed up for over a year, measuring pregnancy and childbearing preferences and contextual factors quarterly to capture how preferences changed as life circumstances changed.
