@selinkoksal.bsky.social discusses miscarriage reporting & variation in UK surveys. Definitions are unclear, social desirability bias & issues in recognising pregnancy. Discrepancies potentially due to framing effect, or potentially cohort effects @bspsuk.bsky.social #bsps2025 @soc-misc.bsky.social

📈 Interesting trend: Younger cohorts reported more miscarriages - perhaps because stigma is decreasing and they're more open about their experiences, because of improvement in early pregnancy detection, or generational differences in recall accuracy
