Since the 2022 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization , state-level laws governing health care provision and access have increased.

A coordinated, robust body of research is needed to understand, anticipate, and respond to the far-reaching consequences of this ruling. This commentary brings together perspectives from the SRH and health services fields to present six research priorities that researchers, funders, policymakers, and advocates can leverage to advance SRH care access and equity.
