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.
- Expanding Provider and Insurance Access Pointsmethodology: pharmacist-prescribed contraceptionBy authorizing pharmacists to prescribe contraception and advocating for insurance coverage of OTC and extended-supply contraception, we reduce structural barriers to access, because increasing the number and type of access points improves continuity and equity in use.
- Policy Advocacy for Contraceptive Accessmethodology: policy-advocacyBy advancing state legislative initiatives and shaping health policy, we increase access to contraception and reduce unintended pregnancies, because systemic change at the policy level creates widespread, equitable access.
