The Experiences and Priorities of Women with Disabilities Regarding Pregnancy and Reproductive Care

Summary

The goal of this project is to give women with disabilities and physicians a space to talk about their experiences as providers and users of the current healthcare system regarding pregnancy and reproductive care. This space will allow physicians and women with disabilities to talk about what is good and not so good in these spaces. I want to learn what could help people with disabilities within reproductive and pregnancy healthcare.
If someone agrees to be in the study, I will interview them for around 1 hour. The interview will either take place at a location we both agree on, zoom or on a phone call. The interview will be informal. People must choose to be part of the study. No one else can make people agree to the interview if they do not want to.
