How do fiction and nursing education mix? AAP's ROE Consortium member Janet Engstrom and co-author Ramona G. Hunter explore how such a combination can be the key to more engaged class discussions an better prepared nurses. Their new article on fiction and abortion education, "Teaching Reproductive Options through the Use of Fiction: the Cider House Rules Project " was recently published in the Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic and Neonatal Nursing. Fiction by nature invites a reader into the characters' lives, offering a toll to humanize the politicized content of abortion for nursing students.

AAP launches the Least Access States Initiative |
|
|
|
|
Access to abortion varies
substantially from state to state. In
the United States, a woman
in Mississippi is likely to have a
significantly different experience regarding abortion than a woman in Massachusetts. As
women’s experiences become more and more state-specific and more challenging,
tailored interventions are needed to ensure safe and accessible abortion
services for women.
AAP is now poised to address
abortion access in states with the fewest resources and least access to
abortion. Supported by a generous multi-year grant, AAP has begun to develop a
high-impact model initiative that melds past organizing experience with methodologies
used by the World Health Organization and other international agencies. Target
states will be announced in the spring of 2008.

access” states and learn more about the project.
