Leigh Senderowicz to present at the Maryland Population Research Center

March 23, 2020

Leigh Senderowicz has been invited by the Maryland Population Research Center to give a talk on March 23, 2020. She will present, "The effect of a postpartum IUD intervention on counseling quality and contraceptive method choice in Tanzania: Results from a cluster-randomized trial." 

With so many global family planning interventions designed to promote a single contraceptive method, most are evaluated based on their ability to increase uptake of that method.  The effect of these programs on broader measures of quality and choice, however,  is under-examined.  Here we use the results of step-wedge cluster randomized trial to examine the effects of a Tanzanian postpartum IUD intervention on key dimensions of counseling quality.

Leigh Senderowicz is a social demographer focusing on global sexual and reproductive health, and the PI of the Contraceptive Autonomy Project.  In 2019, she earned her doctorate in Global Health and Population at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health with a concentration in Women, Gender and Health.  Leigh is currently a postdoctoral fellow in the NIH-funded Health Disparities Research Scholars program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
