The COVID-19 pandemic instilled a great amount of fear in people working in sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Much of the SRH workforce worried that the pandemic would cause decades of progress on SRH outcomes to slide backwards, rates of unintended pregnancies and maternal mortality to soar, and women and girls to be set back even further.
Emerging data suggests that we’ve overcome these obstacles, and the pandemic’s impact on family planning use hasn’t been as great as we feared. What this data lacks is nuance around a broader range of SRH outcomes, and how the intersecting effects of COVID-19 impact the health of priority populations, including young people.
