Community college students need access to comprehensive reproductive health care to support them in achieving both their educational and reproductive goals. This brief highlights barriers to contraceptive access among young people attending community college and outlines policies and programs that can support access. Drawing on data from a longitudinal study conducted with more than 2,000 female community college students in Texas and California, challenges to accessing contraceptive care are widespread and exist in states with both supportive and restrictive reproductive health policies. [This brief was made possible with the support of the Freedom Together Foundation.]
