Women who are members of vulnerable populations based on limited income, or demographic characteristics such as age, race or ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or sexual preference, religion, disability, or lack of insurance are at increased risk of receiving disparate medical care.
In this Contraception and Reproductive Medicine Thematic Series, Improving Reproductive Health Among Vulnerable Women, our objective is to identify innovative and effective strategies to address the disparities in reproductive health care among vulnerable women.
The series will be guest-edited by Dr. Nahla Abdel-Tawab director of the Population Council's Egypt office We would like to open this series to any authors interested in submitting papers.
