Background

The Power Team was growing increasingly dismayed by the rising number of sexual and reproductive health policies restricting people's reproductive health choices, alongside the growing dis- and mis-information being disseminated about the use of hormonal contraception. People are being dissuaded from using effective birth control while, at the same time, their access to abortion is decreasing. To remedy feelings of hopelessness, we decided to take action by conducting research to develop interventions that will combat this mis- and disinformation. Our first step is to better understand how people navigate their information environments.
