Practicing Medicine Under Abortion Bans: Catholic Health Systems and Ban States
Lori Freedman, PhD
Associate Professor (she, her)
University of California, San Francisco
ANSIRH/Bixby/Dept. of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences
Lori Freedman, PhD, is a sociologist and a professor of obstetrics, gynecology & reproductive sciences at the University of California, San Francisco. She is also a Greenwall Faculty Scholar in bioethics. Her research is based within Advancing New Standards In Reproductive Health (ANSIRH), a program of the Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health at UCSF. Dr. Freedman investigates the ways in which reproductive health care is shaped by our social structure and medical culture. Her book, Willing and Unable: Doctors’ Constraints in Abortion Care, is a qualitative study of the challenges to integrating abortion into physician practice. Unexpected findings from those physician interviews led her to research and write about the intersection of religion and health care, especially in the case of Catholic-owned hospitals, with an interest in how conscientious objection in medical practice operates at the institutional level. Her 2023 book, Bishops and Bodies: Reproductive Care in American Catholic Hospitals reveals both how the bishops’ directives operate and how people inside Catholic hospitals navigate the resulting restrictions on medical practice. Dr. Freedman received her bachelor of arts degree at the University of Oregon and her PhD in sociology from the University of California, Davis.

Given the continued drop-off in opioid prescribing, it is critical that people with pain are able to access pharmacologic, nonpharmacologic, and interventional treatment alternatives. Insurance coverage and plan design, including cost sharing, could be leveraged to improve access to comprehensive pain care. This body of research explores trends in coverage and cost sharing for comprehensive pain care, with a focus on acupuncture, using Optum claims.
Molly Candon, PhD is a health economist and an Assistant Professor in the Center for Mental Health (Department of Psychiatry, Perelman School of Medicine) and in the Department of Health Care Management (Wharton School) at the University of Pennsylvania. Molly studies how insurance design and reimbursement can be leveraged to improve access to and the quality of chronic pain management and behavioral health care. She currently has a K award from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health that focuses on coverage and cost sharing for acupuncture therapy. She also co-directs the Evaluation Center, a joint venture between the Center for Mental Health, Community Behavioral Health, and Philadelphia’s Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual Disability Services, where she is leading projects on data-driven suicide prevention and the differential effects of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments for opioid use disorder.

We the Scientists: How the Rise of Patient-Led Research is Changing Medicine
Amy Dockser Marcus
Wall Street Journal, Staff Reporter
Author
Patients are no longer leaving science to the scientists. They are collecting and analyzing their own medical data, using the internet to find and connect online with other groups, and conducting their own research projects. Patient-led research plays an important and expanding role in the search for new therapies, particularly in diseases that are rare or overlooked by the medical and business communities. Amy Dockser Marcus, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for the Wall Street Journal, spent years following a group of parents and scientists that worked together to develop a drug to treat a fatal and rare genetic disease. She will talk about the findings in her new book, We the Scientists, the rise of citizen science, and the ethical, social, and scientific challenges that emerge when patients, families, clinicians, and scientists set out to work as partners in the search for cures.
