This has happened in spite of provisions made by the Oregon legislature to expand Oregon RH Program services at no additional cost to many Latinx Oregonians through the Reproductive Health Equity Act (RHEA). In partnership with Multnomah County Health Department (MCHD) and Oregon Health Authority (OHA) this needs assessment gathered qualitative data from community partners who work with Latinx Oregonian community members to explore reasons why Oregon RH Program is underutilized and what methods MCHD can do to expand usage. Results show that birth control options, STI care and cervical cytology testing are of most interest to the Latinx community and that outreach and bilingual/bicultural services were most important to improve access. Further qualitative research with Latinx community members who are eligible for RH services are suggested to validate these results and guide program planning. 000008044 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000008044 650__ $$aSexual Health$$012333 000008044 650__ $$aHealth Services Accessibility$$019904 000008044 650__ $$aReproductive Health Services$$034540 000008044 650__ $$aHispanic or Latino$$020223 000008044 6531_ $$alatinx 000008044 6531_ $$alatina 000008044 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000008044 7001_ $$aSturges, Leanna$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008044 8564_ $$9ae5053cd-7ecd-466e-b5bd-540fa707578e$$s453094$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8044/files/Sturges.Lea.2020.pdf 000008044 905__ $$a/rest/prod/t1/48/fh/71/t148fh71q 000008044 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:8044$$pstudent-work 000008044 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
