The Addressing Disparities to Reproductive Health Project is APA’s initiative designed to educate prosecutors about the medicine, science and evidenced- based research of reproductive health including pregnancy loss and abortion. The Project is funded by the Collaborative for Gender + Reproductive Equity (CGRE).  APA is guided by a select advisory committee composed of prosecutors from across the country to accomplish five goals: (1) conduct research into the medical science of reproductive health, the disparate impact of abortion bans and highly restrictive laws,  (2) develop and publish reproductive health model policies and protocols for prosecutors focused on medical science and healthcare equity, (3) design a reproductive healthcare training and technical assistance (TTA) curriculum based upon the needs of the field (4) provide reproductive healthcare training (both in-person and virtual) to prosecutors, and (5) produce and publish materials on relevant topics in the specialty of reproductive health that will assist prosecutors.
