Reproductive Health

Reproductive health conditions raise child desire but lower pregnancy intentions, spotlighting infertility gaps in women’s health and urging proactive counseling and coverage reform.

Of the 10% of women contacted for this survey who said that they or their partner had ever sought fertility assistance, only 7% were able to get the necessary care; cost was cited as the top reason for not being able to access fertility services.

Female physicians identified cost and access barriers to fertility care, which are especially relevant as more US women are choosing to delay childrearing.
