How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Community-Based Participatory Researchmethodology: community-based_participatory_researchBy partnering with communities in all phases of research, we produce more relevant and actionable evidence for health equity, because community ownership ensures cultural validity and increases uptake of findings.
- Integrated Climate and Reproductive Health Adaptationmethodology: integrated_health_adaptationBy integrating sexual and reproductive health into climate adaptation planning, we enhance community resilience, because reproductive autonomy enables individuals—especially women—to make strategic life choices during environmental crises.
- Intersectional and Equity-Centered Analysismethodology: equity-centered_analysisBy applying disaggregated, intersectional analysis to research and policy, we uncover how overlapping systems of oppression shape reproductive health outcomes, because only by centering marginalized experiences can interventions be truly equitable.
- Research-to-Policy Translationmethodology: research_to_policy_translationBy systematically translating research findings into policy frameworks and program guidance, we improve sexual and reproductive health outcomes, because evidence-informed policy is more likely to address root causes and scale effective interventions.
- Youth-Participatory Research and Intervention Designmethodology: youth_participatory_researchBy engaging youth as co-researchers in studying the impacts of abortion bans, we generate more authentic insights and effective mental health interventions, because youth-led processes yield higher relevance and engagement.
