Unplanned Parenthood

Unplanned Parenthood
In this course we will address a public health puzzle: Why is it that, in an age of safe and effective contraception, roughly half of all pregnancies in the U.S. are unintended? We will advise a large reproductive healthcare organization that is designing a new project to reduce unintended pregnancy in New England. Students will study the causes and consequences of unintended pregnancy, consulting existing secondary sources and also conducting a statistical analysis of rich primary data. Our ultimate product will be a set of recommended interventions for the organization to consider. No prior statistical experience is required or assumed.
