Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Approximately half of all pregnancies in the United States are unintended. The purpose of the Family Planning Waiver, a Wisconsin Medicaid program implemented in 2003, is to expand access to contraceptive care and other reproductive health services. The waiver provides women with birth control services and supplies, emergency contraception, routine reproductive health exams, and diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. With greater availability of contraception, the expected outcome is a reduction of unintended pregnancies and subsequent therapeutic abortion, which results in a decreased financial burden to the state, as well as an opportunity for women to experience motherhood when they are emotionally prepared to do so. |
