Policy and system approaches to reach structurally disadvantaged populations: A focus on equitable access to contraception and abortion through primary care
Our residency seeks to describe policy and practice approaches that will enhance reach to structurally disadvantaged populations, for contraception and abortion care through "first-stop" primary care services.
Both Professors Mazza and Norman are leading international experts in policy and practice approaches to improving access and quality of care for women's sexual and reprodutcive health services in primary care (Professor Mazza in the Australian context and Professor Norman in Canada).
The Borcher residency will provide an oipportunity for colocation of these experts to achieve the following expected outcomes:
- To write two collaborative papers which highlight approaches to advance primary care family planning service provision.
- To develop a dissemination and knowledge transaltion (KT) strategy to communicate the key messages of these papers to health system, policy and service decision makers.
- To interact with concurrent Brocher visiting Researchers, and with previously known and new collaborators among Geneva-based organizations such as the WHO/Human Reproduction Program, to understand and foster exchange of cross-disciplinary ideas, establish new collaborations and potentially to plan future co-production of research capable to effect change.
