Despite our limitations, the study also had strengths. Firstly, the questions in the estionsutesions descriptive nature of the BRFSS survey allowed us to gain insight into not only one type of ACE and family planning methods, but multiple. Therefore, our exposure and outcome variables were able to cover a wide and nuanced range of data. This is fitting, since both ACEs and family planning are both nuanced topics that look different for different people, as we can see from the myriad of current and emerging ACEs and contraceptive methods. Additionally, we were able to evaluate participants based on their state of residence which allowed us to evaluate different frequencies of exposure and outcome across states. It also allowed us to conduct a secondary analysis of state and federal legislature that could contribute to the nature of exposure and outcome. The nature of our data was also reliable, versatile, and generalizable to a larger population. Because of the flexibility of the data, we were able to tailor it to our specific research question
