Planned Parenthood Federation of America

“Many organizations are enthusiastic about using instant messaging or text messaging to reach young people but very few studies, particularly of this size and rigor, have ever been conducted to find out how well it works.”

— Leslie M. Kantor, MPH Vice President Education, PPFA

Critical Information at Your Fingertips

Planned Parenthood health centers and community-based education provide high-quality services and information to millions of people around the country each year. The Foundation is supporting Planned Parenthood’s national office, Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), with efforts to expand that education and care via their computer or smartphone.

Launched with Foundation support in 2010, Chat/Text Planned Parenthood is a service that allows people to receive “real-time,” medically accurate answers to their most urgent questions about birth control, unprotected sex, sexually transmitted diseases, or unintended pregnancy — confidentially and conveniently, using their phone or computer.
