The Bay Area
International Group

The Bay Area International Group focuses on the quantitative aspects of family planning and reproductive health.  Our overall goal is to expand family planning and improve reproductive health in developing countries by using limited resources as effectively as possible.  Our group draws on the cross-disciplinary skills of a number of academic institutions in the San Francisco Bay Area, and includes economists, public health professionals, epidemiologists, as well as international experts in business, reproductive health and AIDS prevention.
