We are writing to ask for your help with a new research study, Access to Reproductive Care in Nevada, being conducted by Celene Fuller, M.A and Barbara G. Brents, Ph.D. in the Department of Sociology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
The purpose of this study is to examine access to and experiences with reproductive health and/or abortion services in the state of Nevada.
We are seeking participants who are at least 18 years of age or older andmeet one or more of the following criteria:
- Individuals who provide or assist in providing reproductive services
- Individuals who manage or work in reproductive health clinics
- Individuals who have in the past used reproductive health and abortion services in Nevada
- Individuals who have tried to access reproductive health and abortion services in Nevada and have gone to nearby adjacent states for services
Anyone who volunteers to participate in this study will be asked to participate in interview(s) that may last from 30 minutes to 2 hours by your choice of phone or by video conferencing.
If you or anyone you know is interested in participating in this study, in learning more about it, or have any questions, please contact Celene Fuller at NVreprostudy@gmail.com. Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of subjects is of utmost importance to us. Please consider this as you share information about this study.
Participating in research is voluntary and participation or lack of participation won’t affect treatment with any reproductive health provider. Again, protecting the confidentiality and privacy of subjects is our major concern.
Research plays an important role in advancing our understanding of care and helps lead to improvements in health. We thank you very much for your assistance with our study.
Sincerely,
Celene Fuller, M.A.
