When doctors are "doxxed:" An analysis of information posted on an antiabortion website.

OBJECTIVES: To systematically review information posted about abortion providers on an antiabortion website. STUDY DESIGN: Within a purposive sample of 64 abortion providers in 24 states, we reviewed 921 documents posted on the website. RESULTS: Extensive provider personal information obtained via public records laws and other public sources was posted on the website in an accessible and searchable format. CONCLUSIONS: Public records laws and other public sources of information have opened potent avenues for collecting and disseminating providers' personal information. IMPLICATIONS: This website fits into a larger pattern of longstanding efforts to intimidate, threaten, and vilify providers.
