This past summer, I conducted analysis on a dataset from a recent contraceptive clinical trial in collaboration with Dr. Carolyn Westhoff to examine the success and utility of transvaginal ultrasounds for identifying follicles among non-pregnant reproductive-aged women. I also worked with Gynuity Health Projects conducting data analysis on their TelAbortion Study to better understand differences between populations receiving abortions in the study as compared to populations receiving abortions outside of the study. I will conduct my Masters Thesis using this same data.
