•More Mobile Clinics Are Bringing Long-Acting Birth Control to Rural Areas - KFF Health News
86% Informative
A small but growing number of mobile programs are aimed at increasing rural access to women’s health services, including birth control.
Rural areas have disproportionately fewer doctors, including OB-GYNs, than urban areas.
Rural providers may not be able to afford to stock long-acting birth control devices or not be trained in administering them, program leaders say.
The Arkansas initiative will visit 14 rural counties with four vehicles the size of food trucks.
Staffing and equipment will be covered by a two-year , $ 431,000 grant from an anonymous donor.
In addition to contraception, faculty and medical residents staffing the vehicles will offer women’s health screenings, vaccinations, prenatal care, and testing for sexually transmitted infections.
