The collaborative met to discuss public education, messaging, and retail signage for OTC birth control products. Discussions included retail counter coverage, the integration of OTC products with Maryland Department of Health reproductive health programs, and the operationalization of OTC claims. The group also reviewed family planning program demographics, utilization data, and strategies for improving access through bulk distribution, vending machines, and partnerships. Next steps involve creating recommended signage language and including a section on evaluation metrics in the final report.
