Featured research at the 2012 North American Forum on Family Planning

摘要

The Society of Family Planning (SFP) and Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) will host the second annual North American Forum on Family Planning (the Forum), to be held in Denver, CO, on October 28-29, 2012. The raison d'etre of the meeting is the presentation of contraceptive and abortion research, mainly through investigators presenting results for the first time to an audience of their peers. The Forum Scientific Committee reviewed this year's abstracts and accepted 124 for presentation at the meeting. As it did last year, the Committee selected 20 of the abstracts for an oral presentation, four of which will be highlighted in a plenary session. These four include outstanding work that can immediately influence how we practice.
