Journal Article
Following the Evidence to Reduce Unplanned Pregnancy and Improve the Lives of Children and Families
2018
Overview
A growing number of policy-makers and program leaders at the federal, state, and community levels are committed to using unbiased evidence to guide them in solving tough problems. This progress should be celebrated. The bipartisan Commission on Evidence-Based Policymaking, which sought to ensure that policy-makers have reliable information and evidence to help them decide how best to manage and improve government programs and policies, has already played an important role in institutionalizing the use of evidence and scientific facts to create federal policy. In fact, many of its recommendations have already been incorporated in bipartisan legislation. Here, we illustrate the role that evidence can play in informing policy through an issue about which the three authors of this article care deeply - improving the lives of American children and families by reducing unplanned pregnancy. Specifically, we focus on evidence and policy regarding one of the most powerful and effective strategies to achieve this goal: increasing access to the most effective forms of contraception.
