For Immediate Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE From Monday, October 29th, through Tuesday, October 30th, The Hoffman Research Group surveyed a cross-section of likely voters in Oregon to ascertain their preferences in the 2018 Oregon Gubernatorial Election. The survey is based on landline and cellphone interviews with 694 randomly chosen likely Oregon voters. Attention was given to Oregon’s rural and urban divide within seven geographic regions. The survey also maintained appropriate balances with regard to age, gender and vote propensity. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7% at a 95% confidence level. Headquartered in Portland, OR, The Hoffman Research Group, a division of Gateway Communications Inc., has conducted hundreds of political tracking surveys and market research projects since 1984.

  • Oregon Authorizes Pharmacists to Prescribe Hormonal Birth Control the State Is Unlocking the Power of Pharmacists to Increase Contraceptive Access
    Oregon Authorizes Pharmacists to Prescribe Hormonal Birth Control The state is unlocking the power of pharmacists to increase contraceptive access. In 2011, an Obstetrics and Gynecology study found that increasing patients’ one- or three-month supplies of oral contraceptive pills to a one-year supply could decrease their odds of pregnancy by 30 percent and reduce the odds of abortion by 46 percent, illustrating how removing barriers to birth control can improve public health outcomes. Four years after the study’s publication, it helped inspire Oregon Rep. Knute Buehler to write a bill authorizing pharmacists to prescribe self-administered birth control and provide same-day dispensing to women aged 18 and older, and women under 18 if they’ve previously had a birth control prescription.
