Diana Greene Foster is best known as a University of California professor and demographer. She also works with the organization Advancing New Standards in Reproductive Health (ANSIRH).
In her work, she employs quantitative analyses and models to study the effect of unintended pregnancy on women's lives and the effectiveness of family planning policies.
Diana Foster was the lead in the longitudinal prospective study known as the
Turnaway Study. This was a study of nearly 1,000 women who were denied or received abortions from 30 medical institutions across the United States.
Greene Foster also led a study documenting the experiences of women who were denied abortion services, known as the
Global Turnaway Study. The study focused on the denial of abortion access in Tunisia, Bangladesh, South Africa, Nepal, and Colombia.
At the University of California, she has conducted research on women’s preferences for a range of contraceptive features, from oral contraceptives, over-the-counter access, and the self-removability of IUDs.
Working with the California State family planning program, Greene evaluated the effectiveness of
Family PACT in reducing unintended pregnancies in addition to the health and financial benefits of providing women with contraceptives that would last at least a year.
Diane Greene Foster has also used the Markov model to come up with a technique for estimating pregnancies prevented. She also crafted a unique microsimulation that can tell how cost-effective emergency contraception is in a given population.
In 2020, Diana Green Foster published the work
The Turnaway Study, in which she shares the results of her decade-long study.
Working with her team, Diana studied more than 1000 American women, some of whom accessed abortions while others were denied. She studied their health, work, family life and feelings over time.
From her study, she observed that those who received abortions had better life outcomes as compared to those who did not. Many who got abortions did not regret it years afterward.
The work also challenges assertions that abortion is harmful to women. Greene also includes real-life stories and data to help her readers understand women’s lives, choices, and struggles.
