Youth exposure to alcohol ads is linked to underage drinking. Abt and Boston University found that, between 2017 and 2019, U.S. youth were exposed to millions of commercials that did not comply with guidelines to prevent overexposure to alcohol ads. Learn about our study and how the alcohol industry is being held accountable.
Improving contraceptive access, equity, and choice – both during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond – begins with understanding where women obtain family planning methods and how sources vary across user groups.

Nursing Homes and Future Pandemics
From Our Perspectives Blog
Research has shown that nursing homes with individualized care models have seen significant increases in resident morale. But what happens when residents return to a more traditional medical model for care amidst COVID-19, which focuses more on physical and less on psychosocial health? Abt’s Rosanna Bertrand and Teresa Mota share lessons that should be applied in the future.
RGGI is a carbon trading program designed to reduce carbon pollution in 10 states in the U.S. Northeast. Abt’s analysis found that RGGI significantly reduced air pollution from fossil fuel power plants, with residents now experiencing significantly fewer premature deaths, heart attacks, and respiratory illnesses. Learn more about our findings.
Evidence is clear that individuals living within rural and remote areas are more likely than urban dwellers to suffer from disease. Abt helped evaluate the effectiveness of the Rural Primary Health Services program, which was commissioned by one of Australia’s 31 Primary Health Networks to provide accessible health services to those in rural areas. Learn more about our findings.
Despite the longstanding efforts of Nepal’s Ministry of Health and Population to promote maternal and neonatal health, uptake of services has been slow. However, Abt’s analysis revealed a substantial increase in antenatal care visits and deliveries in health facilities among pregnant women. Learn more about our findings.
Most of the research on COVID-19’s impact on justice has focused on jails and prisons. But far more people are on parole and probation. How can the system be better prepared for these populations? Abt justice experts Holly Swan and Walter Campbell propose solutions in this new white paper.
