In this session, I will present the preliminary results of a qualitative study that will address these questions. Data collection consists of 10-20 semi-structured interviews with medical providers and healthcare staff working at USHCs. Purposive and snowball sampling ensure a well-rounded sample, and providers at universities that both offer and do not offer MAB are invited to participate. Rapid analysis of each interview transcript will underscore major themes amongst the data, and recommendations will be deduced from these findings. The following barriers and facilitators are anticipated to arise in interviews by the end of data collection: student engagement with reproductive justice initiatives (e.g., student advocacy groups), funding, practice-specific champions, legislative guidance, staff and leadership capacity, and institutional values. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research will be used to categorize and present the themes. 

Access to healthcare remains a leading issue in the U.S., and this research aims to inspire improvements to college students’ access to reproductive healthcare by identifying the most prevalent barriers and facilitators to implementing a MAB program at Massachusetts USHCs.
