The Standing Committee on Reproductive Health, Equity, and Society is a group of experts at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine that will lead a cross-cutting initiative on equitable access to reproductive health. As part of the initiative, the standing committee will develop webinars on reproductive health topics that can increase awareness and promote dialogue in the medical, public health, societal and general population.
The standing committee will organize a public webinar to examine promising strategies to reduce disparities in reproductive health outcomes. Speakers, including health care providers and researchers, will discuss underlying issues and inequities impacting access to and quality of reproductive health care, the resulting disparities in health outcomes, and disproportionate impact on some populations. Speakers will offer examples of promising programs and practices to address barriers to patient-centered high-quality health care across the reproductive life cycle.
A proceedings-in-brief will be produced by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines .
