Summary

This study is exploring what happens when women have better financial access to birth control. Researchers are tracking about 5,000 women in Michigan to see how it affects their use of contraception, pregnancy rates, education, jobs, finances, and overall well-being. The goal is to understand the full impact of making contraception more affordable.
