Moving Beyond Social Determinants of Health: Advancing Health Equity by Addressing Systemic, Institutional, & Structural Racism in Program Planning (Parts 1 & 2)
This two-part session seeks to reframe audience members' understanding of the social determinants of health, prompting a reconsideration of how structural factors are driving forces and barriers to health equity. Following a primer on the social determinants of health, this session will offer an overview of different frameworks that family planning projects may use to guide this work. From there, the audience will hear from programs that have successfully collaborated with diverse stakeholders and integrated initiatives to address systemic, institutional, and structural racism into their project plans, all while utilizing an intersectional approach for individuals and communities that experience multiple and overlapping points of oppression.

Talking with Family Planning Patients About COVID-19 Vaccination
The evidence regarding the dangers of COVID-19 infection during pregnancy – on both the pregnant person and the fetus – continues to evolve, highlighting the importance of getting vaccinated before or during pregnancy. Yet, only one-third of pregnant persons are vaccinated. Many factors have contributed to slow vaccine uptake, notably medical mistrust based on a long history of unethical practice and research on people of color in the US. This session will focus on how providers can effectively communicate with patients about COVID-19 vaccination, including the overall safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccination before, during, and after pregnancy. Evidence regarding the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on menstrual cyclicity, postpartum lactation, and future fertility also will be discussed.
