National Behavior Study on Use and Non Use of FP Methods in AfghanistanAkmal Samsor
An exploratory qualitative study, National Family Planning Behavioral Study (FPBS), is conducted to identify factors that influence the use of modern birth spacing methods and to identify ways to mitigate or alter those influencers at the individual, couple/family, service accessibility, socio-cultural and policy environment for improvement of CPR in Afghanistan.
Constructs from the socioecological model, health belief model and theory of planned behavior were used to develop the conceptual framework for the study. The constructs were arranged in four different levels: (1) individual level, (2) couple & family level, (3) service accessibility level, and (4) socio-cultural and policy environment level.
FGDs, IDIs and KIIs were used to collect data from nine distinct target groups residing in the ten purposely-selected provinces: Kabul, Herat, Kandahar, Bamyan, Khost, Jawzjan, Kunar, Badghis, Badakhshan, and Samangan.
This session offers more advanced content on the Critical Time Intervention model and how it applies to families. Speakers will discuss the practical application of the model for families with varying barriers to housing and services. Participants will walk away from this session with an in-depth understanding of how the model can improve outcomes for families in their community.

DESCRIPTION
Reproductive Life Planning is client-based assessment of personal life goals to first determine if and where childbearing fits in with education, family, relationships, work, and more. This assessment then allows individuals to develop a flexible strategy to prevent or plan future pregnancies, in order to successfully meet their life goals. Participants who attend this session will be able to help their clients develop their own Reproductive Life Plans. They will also learn about and practice using basic motivational interviewing techniques that help clients help themselves. Motivational interviewing is a non-judgmental, non-confrontational, and non-adversarial counseling technique which can be especially effective when helping clients explores their own goals and motivations, and helping them create reproductive life plans that help them succeed in meeting their goals.

Are Primary Care Clinicians Serving Low-Income Patients More Likely to Screen...asclepiuspdfs
Background: Women of all income levels experience domestic violence (DV). Primary health-care providers are able to screen women early and provide services or referrals; however, regular DV screening rarely occurs in the US. We investigated whether implicit bias based on patient population income level could be influencing provider practices in California. Methods: Data for this study were drawn from a self-administered survey conducted from October 2013 to March 2014. Providers (n = 152) were included if they worked in primary care and provided information on the predominant income of their patients. The survey included questions on provider demographics, screening practices, and number of female victims identified. Results: Providers serving low-income patient populations (LIPPs) or higher-income patient populations had equivalent training and knowledge about DV. However, DV screening practices (e.g., screening more often, at a younger age, and giving a screening question for DV) and outcomes (DV victims identified) varied significantly by patient population income level (P < 0.01). Working with low-income patients and engaging in universal screening practices both predicted more victim identification (P < 0.01). Conclusions: Implicit bias appears to influence clinicians’ screening practices, with those serving LIPPs being more likely to screen regardless of training or knowledge. If DV screening in primary care occurred more regularly, it would yield more detection of victims at all income levels. Training and self-reflection could combat implicit bias, as well as written policies and standardized procedures to encourage universal screening practices by clinicians irrespective of the income level of their patient populations.

DESCRIPTION
Reproductive life planning (RLP) is a client-based assessment of personal life goals to determine if and where childbearing fits in with education, family, relationships, work, and more. This assessment then informs the development of a flexible strategy to prevent or plan future pregnancies in order to successfully meet these goals.
However, getting patients to modify their health or sexual habits isn’t always easy. The practice of motivational interviewing (MI) is an effective catalyst for behavior change. MI is a quick, effective, client-centered counseling technique that allows clients to define their own goals and make their own choices by helping them identify what is personally meaningful and valuable in their own lives, and to act in ways that will help them meet their goals. Best of all, it works.
This full-day pre-conference workshop introduced participants to the core concepts of motivational interviewing, placed within the context of reproductive life planning, a process which allows individuals to make appropriate decisions regarding their sexual and reproductive health, desire to have children, and birth spacing.
Participants learned the basic techniques of motivational interviewing and discovered how to help clients assess their own goals, make a plan that will help them meet those goals, and find ways to overcome obstacles that may occur along the way.

DESCRIPTION
Implicit bias refers to the unconscious associations we make about others based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity, age, and gender based on the direct and indirect messages we get from family, community, culture, and media throughout our lives. Implicit bias is an involuntary and unintentional process that influences our beliefs about and actions toward others. Several studies document implicit bias among health care providers correlated with clinical decision-making. Even though implicit bias is unconscious, it is malleable and can be unlearned. Debiasing is a long-term, intentional, and deliberate undertaking that involves countering harmful or negative biases with new associations. This workshop explores evidence-based and emerging methods for debiasing.

DESCRIPTION
Did you know that LBGT youth can be at a higher risk for pregnancy involvement than their straight
counterparts? LGBT youth are frequently excluded from pregnancy prevention messages, even though they are in need of these messages. In this workshop, we will briefly examine the statistics and research to understand why LGBT youth are excluded. We will review and discuss what safer sex methods LGBT youth need to know to prevent pregnancy. Through activities, participants will explore and practice more inclusive language and then use the inclusive language to reframe pregnancy prevention messages. Participants will leave this workshop with the tools and skills needed to help make LGBT youth feel included in pregnancy prevention programs.

DESCRIPTION
At the root of all abuse is the fact that someone else knows. One out of every three adolescents in the United States is a victim of physical, sexual, emotional, or verbal abuse from a dating partner. That means that everyone knows someone who has or will be abused in some way. This workshop introduces participants to the topics of teen dating and sexual violence. Participants will explore their awareness of abusive behaviors and warning signs common to teen dating relationships, with an emphasis on healthy relationships as well. Learn about power and control, the cycle of violence, characteristics of healthy relationships, and facts about technology abuse.
ABOUT THE PRESENTER
Samantha Collier founded and created TeamTeal365, a small grassroots organization established in 2009 that is dedicated to empowering, educating, advocating, and supporting ALL survivors of sexual assault.
In 2012, TeamTeal365 became an LLC. Abused as a child and raped as an adult, Samantha feels a
personal obligation to serve and be a visible witness to her community about what a sexually abused person looks like. The goal of the organization is to wrap each survivor in compassion and trust starting with the simple words, “I believe you”—words Samantha knows firsthand can help victims move from surviving to thriving. Samantha is a voice of powerful visible change. Because violence and sexual assault leaves victims living in fear, some never get the chance to realize their full potential because their pain outweighs their strengths. Samantha’s goal is to reach out to survivors of sexual violence, as well as their families, partners, and siblings, to move them from merely surviving to thriving.

DESCRIPTION
Sex education programs face many limitations and public or political opposition that forces key elements of healthy sexual development, such as pleasure, out of curricula. This workshop hopes to change how we typically think about pleasure so that it can be better utilized in the classroom. It will also analyze two dominant sex education curricula in Wisconsin to demonstrate four easy ways the conversation about pleasure can begin even within the many constraints educators face.

DESCRIPTION
The issue of consent is often not addressed enough when providing sexuality education, even though it is a critical part of healthy sexual development and relationships. This workshop will explore why it’s important to address consent as part of comprehensive sexuality education. This will include developing a shared language to talk about consent in various situations. Participants will have the opportunity to practice talking about the topic of consent in sex-positive ways that include taking pleasure and various common scenarios into account. Participants will also gain knowledge and tools to make their own lessons, curricula, and workshops with clients more sex-positive.

DESCRIPTION
Young people with disabilities are often left out when teaching sexual health. Perhaps we believe they are incapable of comprehending the messaging or we assume they are asexual or uninterested in sexual intimacy. As a community, we believe we are underestimating both their capacity to understand their critical need to receive sexual health resources. Participants will leave this session with increased knowledge on the importance of teaching sexual health to young people with disabilities and tips on how to adapt existing curricula to work with this population.

Given higher rates of sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy among African-American and Latino teens in the United States, we have found that there is a need for better sexual and reproductive health education in these communities. this audience is clearly in need of sexual/reproductive health education. Since technology is already a significant part of the lives of adolescents, youth-serving professionals must determine the best ways to use it to advance the aim of improving the sexual health. A digital intervention created by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America is among the first to attempt using both theory and research to inform its development on reaching African-American and Latin@ youth. This workshop will describe the development of the tools, explain likely outcomes for youth, and facilitate a conversation with participants about how they can make use of the tools in their own work.

DESCRIPTION
Sexuality education programs often face funding limitations and public or political opposition that forces key elements of healthy sexual development, such as sexual pleasure, out of curricula. While the process of curriculum evaluation and development can be overwhelming within inconsistent restrictions, there must be ways to incorporate controversial, necessary topics within the limitations. This workshop utilizes two dominant sex education curricula within Wisconsin to demonstrate five easy ways the conversation about sexual pleasure can begin, even within policy, funding, and time constraints.

Erica Koepsel is a Master's student in Gender and Women's Studies at University of Wisconsin-Madison researching the relationship between government policy and topics of pleasure in sex education.

DESCRIPTION
The issue of consent is often overlooked or not talked about enough when providing sexuality education, even though is a critical part of healthy sexual development and relationships. This workshop will explore why it’s important to address consent as part of comprehensive sexuality education. This will include developing a shared language to talk about consent in various situations. Participants will have the opportunity, through discussion and completing activities with small groups, to practice talking about the topic of consent in sex-positive ways that include taking pleasure and various common scenarios into account. Participants will also gain knowledge and tools to make their own lessons, curricula and workshops with clients more sex positive.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

What are some of the barriers to increased collaboration between health care providers and SA/IPV/DV service providers
Depending on the study these numbers come from, they may vary slightly, especially from population to population or community to community. However – whether its 1 in 2 or 1 in 5 – it’s 1 in TOO MANY.
Other marginalized groups – include youth in foster care, sex workers, homeless individuals, substance abusers, and more.
Today, we will primarily be focused on women, in particular women who can get pregnant (so often women who identify as heterosexual and are in relationships with men). The intervention we will be discussing was developed and evaluated for this particular population. However, I challenge you to consider ways that you can use similar interventions with any population – tailoring this intervention to the needs of other individuals and communities.
The consequences of trauma at any stage in life can lead to an increased risk of life-long, negative health outcome including:
Traumatic brain injury and other disabilities
Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mental health issues
Chronic pain (often back and shoulders), fibromyalgia, migraines, and headaches
HIV, other STIs, PID, and poor pregnancy and birth outcomes
Asthma
Poor diet and nutrition
Gastrointestinal disorders, joint disorders, cardiovascular disease, and circulatory problems
Low self-esteem, emotional detachment, and antisocial behavior
Substance use and abuse
Delaying care or overuse of health services
Some of these outcomes are a result of the increased high risk behaviors that individuals who have experienced or are experiencing IPV may be engaging in.
What is another important mediator of many of these long-term health outcomes?
Stress
Cortisol
Increased or even consistent feelings of “fight or flight” – imagine (or maybe you know) how that would feel over time…
Behaviors used to maintain power and control in a relationship that are related to reproductive health
Play DVD Advocate Videos Making the Connection
Let’s start thinking about other ways – better ways – to address SA and IPV/DV, especially given the complex and sensitive nature of these situations
While these interventions may be brief and simple in a clinical setting, there is extensive planning, developing partnerships, and ongoing collaboration that must go on between health care providers and SA and IPV/DV service providers. Broader institutional barriers may FIRST need to be addressed.
Acknowledge that this is not always the way it happens – for a lot of reasons.
