Research Opportunities

WISH-TC is actively recruiting for several research studies to better understand the healthcare needs, and improve healthcare access to women recently released from incarceration. If you are an English-speaking woman 18 years or older who has been released from incarceration within the past year and is interested in receiving primary care, please get in touch with us to see if you are eligible to participate in one of our studies.
