Over-the-Counter Contraception Policy Academy

ASTHO is currently accepting applications for participation (up to four 4 teams) in the Over-the-Counter (OTC) Contraception Policy Academy. The OTC Contraception Policy Academy is designed to help state and territorial governmental public health leaders, and their partners, to develop the skills and competencies required to advance and support state-level policies and use those to engage in policy-related work. The policy academy curriculum and program materials will enable participants to recognize, assess, and apply policy levers to increase access, affordability, and awareness of OTC contraception within participants’ jurisdictions. Through this policy academy, participants will become familiar with and gain hands-on experience utilizing policy development frameworks to identify key issues and opportunities for OTC contraception access, affordability, and awareness in their community and respond using appropriate policy interventions.
