Attendees joined our webinar, hosted in partnership with The Commonwealth Fund, as we examined the changing landscape of reproductive health through the lens of health services research (HSR). Explored important research topics, methods, and recommendations for the field. Drawing insights from a November invitational workshop on this topic, our expert speaker discussed policy changes, ongoing research efforts, and unique aspects of conducting such research including community-engaged methods. They also highlighted the critical need for partnerships between the HSR and reproductive health research communities.
