Over-the-Counter (OTC) Contraception Access: Community Chat Registration |
Eligibility Questions
The Adolescent & Young Adult Health Unit at the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) and the Health Care Authority (HCA) are holding listening sessions ("community chats") to get a better understanding of how teens and young adults eligible for Apple Health (Medicaid) in Washington experience getting OTC contraception.
We want to understand what young people know about OTC contraception, where they get it, and what makes getting OTC contraception at the pharmacy challenging so we can identify ways to make it easier. OTC contraception includes drugs like daily oral birth control pills (OPill) and emergency contraception (Plan B), as well as contraceptive devices, like condoms.
