So CA is trying to expand access to medication abortion by mandating CSUs/UCs to provide it at health centers. My work suggests this is acceptable to students and schools are not advertising this service.

It's official! All UC/CSU student health centers must provide medication abortion to their students per SB24. Our recent article highlights the state of Medication Abortion information on university student health center websites across the US. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Easy access to contraception is more important than ever. We document systematic disparities at institutions that have more Pell grant eligible students. @VenooKakar @Guttmacher @KulkarniLabSFSU news.sfsu.edu/news-story/pro… #RoeVWadeprotest

I'm resharing this study in honor of #WomensHistoryMonth. This study showcases a collaboration of female scholars from several disciplines all across @SFSU! Congrats @VenooKakar @KulkarniLabSFSU Anastasia Smirnova & Carrie Holschuh #womeninacademica
Our new study documents unequal access to information about contraception products and services at student health centers at four-year public universities. Access to this information should not depend on the university you attend!

I wrote this deeply personal piece and I chose bravery over fear.

What makes this data so powerful?
The neighborhood-level data allows you to dig deep into factors like residential segregation and child poverty that can negatively impact health. rwjf.ws/31PLTlm

Bruce Link: Zoning laws, elite schools, keeping good health insurance policies--not bad actions, but they create systems of disadvantage. Collectively, advantaged people create structures that benefit them & others like them. #pophealth2019.
Plenary 1, Ethics. Bruce Link: Fundamental cause theory focuses attention on the actions of the advantaged (SES, racism). By drawing on resources (like status, wealth) to gain health, the advantaged create #inequality. #pophealth2019

I had the opportunity to write this Op-Ed with a colleague of mine about the importance of social networks in social connectedness among youth experiencing homelessness.
