Exploring the use of online contraceptive providers: who are these services catering?

There has been an increase in online prescription services offering access to contraception methods without having to physically meet with a medical provider or pharmacist. Understanding the perspectives of individuals accessing contraception through online contraception providers is important to determine who these online services are catering to and what the gaps that these services are potentially filling in the healthcare system. We will use qualitative methods to explore these questions. This project sits within SPHERE, an NHMRC-funded Centre of Research Excellence in Sexual and Reproductive Health for Women in Primary Care. SPHERE is led by Professor Danielle Mazza and supported by multidisciplinary students and researchers in the Department of General Practice. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to be part of this team with support from supervisors.
