Liverpool-Ireland Abortion Corridor: Interview Transcripts from 2016

Qualitative interview transcripts were collected from healthcare professionals and activists in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, and England in 2016. The research focused on the Liverpool-Ireland Abortion Corridor, a pathway for accessing abortion services when they were heavily restricted. The dataset was created by researcher Deirdre Duffy and is licensed under CC-BY-4.0.

Use Cases

• Analyzing healthcare professional perspectives on abortion provision based on interview transcripts.
• Studying activist strategies and narratives around reproductive rights based on qualitative accounts.
• Researching the socio-cultural dynamics of cross-border healthcare access based on the described corridor concept.
• Conducting thematic analysis on the challenges of accessing abortion services under legal restrictions.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly from 2016, providing a snapshot of a specific historical period.
• Interviews were conducted by two researchers using a semi-structured methodology.
• The dataset covers perspectives from three distinct jurisdictions: Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, and England.
• The license is clearly stated as CC-BY-4.0, allowing for reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
