Project SANA researcher Dana Johnson has received a grant from the Society of Family Planning entitled, “A misoprostol-alone self-managed medication abortion regimen: An opportunity to democratize self-management in the US?” The project seeks to address the question, “How can we increase access to self-managed medication abortion among populations who face financial barriers to care?”
“This grant will allow us to focus on issues of telemedicine and self-managed abortion, an increasingly important topic given recent abortion restrictions. Understanding more about the misoprostol-alone medication abortion regimen and cost barriers can further democratize self-managed abortion.”
