Christopher Okpaleke awarded the 2013 Family Planning Research Scholarship

Congratulations to UBC MPH student Christopher Okpaleke who has been awarded the 2013 Family Planning Research Scholarship by the Contraception Access Research Team/Groupe de recherche sur l’accessibilité à la contraception (CART/GRAC) team.

Christopher is working with Dr. Wendy Norman and the CART/GRAC team on a project that surveys Canadian abortion providers and clinic directors to gather information on abortion practices and characterize abortion providers’ experiences with stigma and harassment. CART/GRAC is a new, collaborative national research network that will build on successful strategies in family planning practice and research across Canada. The long-term goal is improved health for women and their families through improved access to high quality family planning knowledge and services to reduce unintended pregnancies.

Congratulations Christopher!
