Addressing consumer needs

Our research program is also focused on understanding the needs and preferences of women when it comes to the delivery of sexual and reproductive health services. This will inform the design of interventions that can help women achieve their individual reproductive goals.

From reproductive coercion to rural women's reproductive rights, SPHERE is working closely with women at the consumer level to ensure better sexual and reproductive health outcomes for all women across Australia, especially among high-risk and vulnerable groups.
