CSDE Trainee Zoe H. Pleasure (Health Services) and CSDE External Affiliate Laura Lindberg (Rutgers) have been awarded research funding from the Society of Family Planning to study contraception misinformation. Pleasure and Lindberg will explore how contraceptive misinformation affects contraceptive health outcomes for gender-diverse young people in the U.S. through a nationally representative survey and qualitative interviews. This project builds on a seed grant funded through CSDE. Pleasure also received funding for a second project, with co-PI Asha Hassan (Minnesota), which will involve conducting qualitative interviews with individuals with chronic conditions to provide insight into how they interact with and navigate the complex information ecosystems related to contraception and chronic illness.
