Refugee Reproductive Health Network (ReproNet) 

Forced migration is a known risk factor for decreasing women’s access to and utilization of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, yet very few studies have gone beyond this observation to explore how to address this unequal access in the resettlement context. Refugee women are currently not active research patient partners due to assumptions about linguistic barriers or that SRH is too culturally sensitive to discuss with these populations. Building upon established local partnerships between community members, organizations, and academics, Refugee Reproductive Health Network (ReproNet) engages in regular communication, coordination, and collaboration. Our ReproNet YouTube channel aims to create content to assist women understand critical reproductive health information and much more. This channel is related to the PCORI Engagement Award, “California's Refugee Reproductive Health Network (ReproNet): Engaging Refugee Women in Research Partnerships.” Learn more in link below.
