Abstract
Few interventions address the essential contraceptive needs that have arisen after the <i>Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization</i> decision, including for abortion patients seen at high-volume travel clinics. This study assessed a novel contraceptive intervention that taught clinic staff how to provide person-centered contraceptive care and connected clinics with supplies. We delivered a training intervention in 2024 to 2025 to increase contraceptive access in six abortion clinics serving out-of-state patients. We measured changes in providers' knowledge and clinic-level contraceptive access, and results show significant increases, providing patients with greater options. Here we present new evidence on an intervention addressing contraceptive needs that have arisen post-<i>Dobbs</i>. (<i>Am J Public Health</i>. 2026;116(8):1069-1073. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2026.308448).
