Welcome to the series, Women and Policy, where Jessica Carges interviews women who work on policy research related to women.
On this episode, Jessica Carges chats with Courtney Joslin on contraceptive accessibility and women's healthcare. Courtney explains how geography, high costs, and shortages of healthcare workers increase the difficulty of accessing contraceptives, how new state-based policies may provide innovative solutions, and how increased access leads to higher education, increased earnings, and lower healthcare costs.

Her work covers a range of issues such as telehealth, birth control, and economic mobility policy. Most recently, Courtney was the policy analyst for the Johnson Center for Political Economy at Troy University, where she worked with legislators and scholars on economic issues in Alabama.
