How do we ensure timely access to medication abortion after the overturn of Roe v. Wade in the United States? The Reproductive Equity and Autonomy Lab is a partnership between Gynuity Health Projects and Stanford University. The team of researchers and clinicians are working together—with support from Stanford Impact Labs—to generate rigorous evidence and insights about new ways to preserve reproductive autonomy. Team members Paul Blumenthal, Klaira Lerma, Laura Frye, Elizabeth Raymond, and Beverly Winikoff share more here about their effort to test new medication abortion practices in clinics and as part of a pilot research study.
