Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ronna C. Turner's research program investigates public knowledge of, and attitudes toward, abortion laws and legality in the United States. Her work examines how factors such as political party affiliation, self-identified abortion identity, and awareness of legal precedents, including the overturning of Roe v. Wade, shape these attitudes. Turner's publications also explore the influence of perceived fetal development markers on opinions regarding abortion bans and analyze attitudes toward illegal abortion, including endorsements of specific punishments.

She has published 90 works with 1,117 citations and an h-index of 17. Turner has collaborated with researchers including Wen-Juo Lo (36 shared publications), Elizabeth A. Keiffer (5 shared publications), and Jennifer A. Reimers (5 shared publications), all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Her research interests extend to the methodologies of health research, including translation frameworks and questionnaire design.
