Beyond the Numbers: Access to Reproductive Health Care for Low-Income
Women in Five Communities
As
policy debates over the future of access to reproductive and sexual health
services heat up at the national and state levels, understanding how these
policies are playing out on the ground requires getting beyond the
statistics.
Earlier
this year, KFF, working with Health Management Associates, conducted interviews
with local clinicians, social service providers, community-based
organizations, researchers, and health care advocates as well as a focus
group with low-income women in five different communities. The study
addressed how national, state, and local policies, as well as cultural
factors, shape access to contraception, maternity care, abortion, STIs, and
other services.
At 9:30 AM
ET on Thursday, November 14, KFF will host a briefing to release findings from this study and
share perspectives from local stakeholders in the study communities. Usha Ranji,
an associate director of KFF’s Women’s Health Policy program will present an
overview of the case studies and focus groups conducted in St. Louis,
MO; Erie, PA; Selma, AL; Tulare County, CA; and the Crow Tribal Reservation,
MT. The presentation will be followed by a roundtable
discussion moderated by Alina Salganicoff, Senior Vice
President and Director of Women’s Health Policy, with health care leaders
from these communities. Participants include:
