About This Cause
Five decades after its creation, the Guttmacher Institute continues to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights through an interrelated program of research, policy analysis and public education designed to generate new ideas, encourage enlightened public debate and promote sound policy and program development. The Institute's overarching goal is to ensure the highest standard of sexual and reproductive health for all people worldwide. The Institute produces a wide range of resources on topics pertaining to sexual and reproductive health, including Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, International Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health and the Guttmacher Policy Review. In 2009, Guttmacher was designated an official collaborating center for reproductive health by the World Health Organization and its regional office, the Pan American Health Organization. Research The institute continues to carry-out policy relevant scientific research that produces the reliable research findings required to ensure evidence-based changes in public policy. Guttmacher presented research findings to a wide range of domestic and international audiences including policy advisors, legislators, scientists, advocates, journalists, healthcare providers, activists and students. Public Policy The Institute uses evidence based advocacy to translate research findings into action through in-depth policy investigations. The Institute advocates for evidence based U.S. domestic and foreign policies to improve access to reliable information and good-quality services. Guttmacher provided technical assistance to advocates and policymakers in states seeking to launch, implement or extend medicaid family planning eligibility expansions. We monitored state policy developments and developed a wide range of evidence based tools for use by state-level advocates. Public Education The institute published its findings in a wide array of formats designed to meet the unique needs of policy-makers, advocates, health care providers, the scientific community and other key stakeholders. The institute disseminated information and resources to a large and diverse audience and worked successfully to ensure that its data and perspectives helped shape policies and programs. Guttmacher materials and opinion were featured in hundreds of media outlets in the U.S. and internationally.
