Strengthening Women’s Health Access: Medicaid and Family Planning. Year Developed: 2023. Source: National Institute for HealthCare Management. Presenter(s): Jason Lindo, MA, PhD; Jessica Cohen, PhD; Wanicha Burapa, MD, MPH; Kate Daniel, MS, CHES. Type: Webinar. Level: Introductory. Length: 61 minutes.

Annotation: An estimated 2 million unplanned pregnancies are prevented each year due to family planning services obtained through Title X, Medicaid, and other publicly funded programs. Expanded access to contraception produces many economic benefits for women, such as bolstering educational attainment, labor force participation, and earnings. Affordable access to contraception, including long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) and oral contraceptive pills, is proven to result in fewer unintentional pregnancies and significant cost savings to the health care system. Experts say that ongoing restrictions on reproductive health care may reduce contraceptive use, leading to more unplanned births and exacerbating health inequities. This webinar explores women’s health access, focusing on the impact of Medicaid and family planning.

Learning Objectives: • Discuss the impact of contraception on childbearing outcomes and women’s economic status. • Understand Medicaid’s role in providing LARCs to prevent unplanned pregnancies and fill postpartum care gaps. • Learn a state’s perspective on strengthening family planning programs, including expanding access to contraception.

Annotation: Sections 1 & 2: Do you want to join or become more involved in a committee or council, but are not sure where to begin or which group would be a good fit for you? Do you wonder what the different functions are of decision-making groups and what the members' roles are within these groups? Serving on Groups is a nationally recognized leadership tool that empowers parents to actively and fully participate in decision-making groups. Section 3: The most effective groups use processes to guide their work, and a clear process sets the direction toward the group's goals. So many times, we are on committees or in meetings but don't know what is supposed to happen or how to fully participate. Sections 4 & 5: Are you a member of a committee or council that needs to be more efficient? What makes a committee or council effective? How can group dynamics improve? Section 6: So many times, we are on committees or in meetings but don't know what the process is or how to fully participate, especially when it comes to data. This introductory webinar on data is based on the Serving on Groups that Make Decisions Guidebook resource. The highlight of the revised Guidebook is a section entitled Understanding Data as Information. We live in a world with more available data than ever before. In education, using data is a powerful tool to determine if schools’ efforts are working and if students are meeting their goals. This section provides eight steps to assist you and other group members in making well-informed data-based decisions to improve the experiences of children. It also contains numerous resources for you to access and explore relevant data for your family and community. Sections 7 & 8: Do you want to be more involved in a decision-making group but are not sure where to begin? Are you tired of feeling like the token representative instead of an active member of a decision-making group?
