Videos Discuss Reproductive Coercion, Preventive Services

July 29, 2010 — The following summarizes selected women's health related videos.

 GRITtv Explores Reproductive Coercion: GRITtv recently examined dating violence and reproductive coercion among teenagers. According to the video, reproductive coercion is an "underreported" issue compared with common assumptions that young women and teenagers are uneducated about or "forget" to use contraception with their sexual partners. The video includes comments from UC-Davis professor and researcher Elizabeth Miller and Lynn Harris, a contributor to The Nation, who discuss why (GRITtv, 7/27).

 Sebelius, Advocates Discuss Preventive Services: During a recent webchat, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius discussed the health care reform law's (PL 111-148) provisions on preventive services and the impact they will have on women and families. Sebelius was joined by Donna Norton, national campaigns director at MomsRising, and women's health advocate Fran Drescher (HHS, 7/22).
