This article explores the effects of the 2010 Haiti earthquake on women's reproductive health, using geocoded data from the 2005 and 2012 Haiti Demographic and Health Surveys. We use geographic variation in the destructiveness of the earthquake to conduct a difference‐in‐difference analysis. Results indicate that heightened earthquake intensity reduced use of injectables—the most widely used modern contraceptive method in Haiti—and increased current pregnancy and current unwanted pregnancy.
