Project Expectations
Time commitment - flexible and based on the student's schedule and availability, but ideally at least 3-5 hours per week
Duties: This research study is contacting a sample of pharmacies across all 55 counties in WV to determine accessibility of emergency contraception (specifically, Plan B and Ella), and we need a team to help make and document these phone calls. Three phone calls will be made to each pharmacy in a randomized order:
(1) "transparent" call from a research team member
(2) a "mystery shopper" call from a team member posing as a 15 year old girl
(3) a "mystery shopper" call from a team member posing as a 19-year-old girl
