Title:¿Y nuestras anticonceptivas? What about our contraceptives?

Location:  DeWitt Wallace Library - LIBR 133 Harmon Room

As a consequence, they experience unintended pregnancy 2x more than white peers. Where do we go from here? Come to this talk to hear the many barriers, from insurance-based to controlling partners, faced in getting contraceptives for Latin@s and how to tackle them. Free contraceptives provided!
