About Us

The Reproductive Choices Lab is led by Dr. Sarah Munro. We are an international team based at the University of Washington, with satellite offices at the University of British Columbia.

Our current team and alumni include scholars, community members, and health care professionals who have sought training in collaborative health services research that is action-oriented, reciprocal, and focused on community-driven solutions. Together we co-develop evidence that supports people seeking abortion and contraception to make informed, shared decisions.
