In the wake of Roe v. Wade’s reversal, OBGYN influencers on TikTok have become crucial voices in reproductive health.

This paper analyses how these influencers reacted to the decision through a content analysis of 441 videos, identifying common health concerns, responses to the Supreme Court ruling, and strategies to combat stigma and misinformation. The findings show that while OBGYNs navigated a complex legal landscape to share vital reproductive health information, they rarely addressed misinformation about sexual and reproductive health. The study discusses the implications for public health communication.

The Australian Society for Psychosocial Obstetrics and Gynaecology is a multi-disciplinary association devoted to further understanding the psychosocial aspects of women's health, particularly in the field of obstetrics, gynaecology and reproductive medicine.
