The National Academies Standing Committee on Reproductive Health, Equity, and Society will host a public webinar on July 25, 2024, at 12:00 to 1:15 p.m. ET to examine promising strategies to reduce disparities in reproductive health care outcomes.
Speakers, including health care providers and researchers, will discuss underlying issues and inequities that affect access to and quality of health care services, the resulting disparities in health care outcomes, and disproportionate impact on some populations. Speakers will also offer examples of promising programs and practices to address barriers to patient-centered high-quality healthcare across the reproductive life cycle.
