Find out why this change was made and what else is new with EPT in this one-hour webinar for New York State Family Planning Program providers featuring representatives of the NYSDOH Office of Sexual Health and Epidemiology. We’ll review the basics of EPT: when is EPT legal, for whom, and under what circumstances. We’ll discuss the benefits of EPT and potential missed opportunities for its use, and we’ll address common questions and misconceptions about EPT. We’ll also highlight print materials and social media campaign information that Family Planning Program providers can use to increase awareness of EPT. Register here.
