YRE is proud to announce that our Director of Research, @lauralindberg.bsky.social was recently awarded @societyfp.bsky.social mentor of the year! Thank you Dr. Lindberg for everything you to do to support YRE’s trainees and other young scholars. Your continued guidance never ceases to amaze us!

YRE’s own Dr. Tracey Wilkinson provided evidence-based testimony in a U.S. Congressional hearing last week on national threats to birth control access. Young people, she states, are particularly at risk.

We’re so excited to share that YRE members Mary Ott and Andrea Hoopes co-authored AAP's latest guidance on contraception for adolescents. This policy statement and clinical report will play a pivotal role in promoting patient centered care for young people nationwide!

In Texas, limited access to confidential contraceptive care can make it difficult for young people to reach their reproductive health goals! This brief reviews the evidence on minors’ access to services, the impact of current policies, and new opportunities to improve access for teens bit.ly/433HLiU

“Minors are often targeted by restrictive policies and less able to use routes to abortion care common for adults—traveling to another state or using telehealth—leaving them disproportionately impacted” says YRE's own @lauralindberg.bsky.social in @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social

New research from YRE's @lauralindberg.bsky.social & @juliemaslowsky.bsky.social finds that over 7 million girls ages 13-17 live in states that ban or severely restrict their abortion access! This means the majority of minors in the US now face stigmatizing barriers when seeking care. bit.ly/3EdIOnO

YRE members at @emoryrollins.bsky.social are currently seeking participants for an exciting new study aimed at learning more about parent, teen, and health provider communication! Want to take part in the TALKS study? Learn more at rsph.qualtrics.emory.edu/jfe/form/SV_...

New research from @nberpubs.bsky.social shows that thousands of young people have left states with near-total abortion bans since Dobbs. Young people deserve to plan their futures in their communities of choice and should not be coerced into leaving by these harmful restrictions
