Pregnancy intention screening program: improving reproductive health care and family planning.
This Act establishes a grant program for health and social service providers to routinely screen patients about their pregnancy and reproductive health goals. The goal is to better tailor healthcare, including contraception or pre-pregnancy care, to citizens' individual needs and plans. The program aims to prevent unintended pregnancies and improve healthy pregnancy outcomes, especially in underserved communities.
Key points
Funding: $10 million is authorized annually (for fiscal years 2024 through 2026) to implement the pregnancy intention screening demonstration program.
Improved Care: The program ensures that healthcare (including contraception and pre-pregnancy care) is aligned with patients' reproductive goals.
Exclusion: Grants will not be awarded to crisis pregnancy centers or anti-abortion organizations that misrepresent themselves as comprehensive reproductive healthcare providers.
Program Evaluation: A detailed evaluation is required, including cost analysis and assessment of the impact on diverse patient populations, particularly medically underserved communities.
