The Colorado Initiative to Reduce Unintended Pregnancy: Contraceptive Access and Impact on Reproductive Health
Sarah E. Romer, Kathy I. Kennedy
Abstract
The Colorado Initiative to Reduce Unintended Pregnancy, including its largest subproject, the Colorado Family Planning Initiative, had a significant impact on contraceptive access during and after the project period. This coordinated and multilevel initiative improved reproductive health outcomes by driving change in public health systems, advancing statewide policies, building capacity through training and technical assistance, and increasing public awareness and education. Lessons learned from the implementation and outcomes of the Colorado Initiative to Reduce Unintended Pregnancy continue to inform contraceptive access efforts.
