Sophie Morse is a Philip R. Lee Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for Health Policy Studies. She is also a researcher on the Beyond the Pill team at the Bixby Center for Global Reproductive Health working on access and equity in contraceptive health care.

She specializes in understanding how health providers and health facilities in the US and Latin America can identify and respond to different forms of violence against women (VAW) to prevent the associated health and social consequences. Her primary areas of interest are gender-based violence and sexual and reproductive health. Using quantitative and qualitative methods, she has worked on projects ranging from HIV prevention in Uganda to migrant women’s health and well-being in Costa Rica to postpartum access to health care for low-income women in Texas.
