Contraceptive Access
In their new Health Affairs article, Sara Yeatman and coauthors
investigate the effects of the Colorado Family Planning Initiative
<[link removed]>
(CFPI) on women's college completion.
The CFPI expanded access to contraceptives in 2009 by allowing all
clients of Title X clinics to choose any FDA-approved method at low or
no cost.
Yeatman and coauthors find that the initiative led to a 6 to 12 percent
increase in on-time college completion among women.
"As opposed to earlier contraceptive expansions, such as the
introduction of the oral contraceptive pill, the CFPI expanded
contraceptive access by making it easier for women to get any
FDA-approved method of contraception, including [Long-Acting Reversible
Contraception], at low or no cost through a Title X clinic," explains
Yeatman and coauthors.
Given education is a social driver of health and a determinant of later
socioeconomic outcomes, "this study provides critical evidence that
access to contraception not only gives women control over their
fertility but also improves their lives in additional important ways,"
the authors conclude.
Next week, Yeatman will join us on A Health Podyssey
<[link removed]>
to discuss this research in more detail. Subscribe to the podcast

Today on Forefront, former CDC director Tom Frieden calls for the
creation of National Public Health Institutes globally and describes
five essential issues to be addressed
<[link removed]>
in their development.
Rep. Henry Waxman reflects on changes to the 340B drug pricing program
<[link removed]>
over the thirty years since its passage. He writes that 340B continues
to ensure that safety-net health care providers have the resources they
need, and it is a successful model that should continue for decades to
come.
