N2  - Equitable access to high-quality abortion care varies based on legal restrictions, social determinants of health, and stigma. This dissertation investigated individuals’ experiences of abortion quality of care, follow-up care seeking, and provider referral practices in facility- and self-managed medication abortion contexts in six low- and middle-income countries. The findings highlight gaps in information provision and underscore the importance of measuring quality to meet individuals’ care needs. This study also suggests that pharmacy and community health workers may expand access and bridge gaps between health systems and self-managed support networks.
