Program Description:
The Free the Pill campaign aims to educate and engage the public in support of an over-the-counter (OTC) oral contraceptive (OC) option in the United States, and supports an OTC pill that is affordable, covered by insurance, and available to people of all ages without a prescription. The OCs OTC Working Group, the coalition behind the campaign, has engaged in a partnership with a pharmaceutical company to submit an OTC application to the FDA for a progestin-only pill. For this workshop session, we will present the case for moving OCs OTC as a way to expand contraceptive access, and will provide medical, youth, and policy perspectives on how to ensure that an OTC OC is available and accessible to all.
