Our Approach​

Rigorous and 
Inclusive Research

We use quantitative and qualitative methods to assess both the scale of policy impacts and the diverse and nuanced ways policy changes affect healthcare providers and people needing reproductive healthcare. Our approach centers the experiences of people most impacted by policies in Texas and beyond.

“Our research relies on the expertise of collaborators with different backgrounds and professional experiences to address the most important issues in reproductive health policy from a multidisciplinary perspective.”
