RESEARCH AND EVALUATION EXPERIENCE

Keck School of Medicine University of Southern California

Research Project: Evaluating the Acceptability of Reproductive Life Planning for Incarcerated Women in Los Angeles County

Crystal M. Hayes | The University of Connecticut | School of Social Work | PhD Candidate February 2018 – Present Research Associate Principal Investigator: Dr. Brian T. Nguyen, MD MSc

Evaluation of the acceptability of a group education session discussing Reproductive Life Planning (RLP) among women in a Los Angeles (LA) County jail. This mix- method study seeks to identify barriers to women’s consideration of RLP both inside and outside of jail. RLP based education sessions were given on a weekly basis to women at the LA County Sheriff’s Department correctional facility, with 5-10 women attending each class. Each class addressed RLP, inclusive of both preconception counseling and contraceptive methods. Women enrolled in the class voluntarily participated in research by completing surveys both before and after the class, and then participated in focus groups after the class. The pre-class survey was composed of 25- items collecting reproductive and social histories, experience with and knowledge of contraceptive methods, as well as attitudes toward pregnancy. The post-class survey assessed knowledge gained and attitudes toward pregnancy. The focus groups investigated participants’ perspectives on the applicability and acceptability of the RLP-based class, the educational content, and the context of receiving such information while in jail.

White House Collaborative Equity Research Grant on Women and Girls of Color Funded: $2,000

Research Project: Are All Mothers Created Equal: Race, Birth Behind Bars, and the Anti-Shackling Movement in Massachusetts

September 2016 – May 2017 Research Fellow Principal Investigator: Crystal M. Hayes, MSW

The purpose of this qualitative study seeks to identify what are the most salient issues for the Prison Birth Project’s anti-shackling advocacy campaign in Massachusetts and the impact the organization and campaign has on the actual birthing experiences of incarcerated women and girls of color. Data will be coded and analyzed through a human rights and radical Black feminist lens to determine themes and implications for the anti-shackling movement and prison reform policies. The pilot study will provide preliminary insights for future dissertation study, gender specific prison reform policies, and advocacy work.
