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. 000042883 536__ $$oAmerican Association of University Women$$c015581 000042883 540__ $$fCC BY 000042883 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000042883 650__ $$aAbortion, Induced$$011020 000042883 650__ $$aQuality of Health Care$$025031 000042883 6531_ $$areproductive justice 000042883 6531_ $$aabortion 000042883 691__ $$aOHSU-PSU School of Public Health$$041366 000042883 7001_ $$aJacobson, Laura E.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$10000-0002-0996-7408 000042883 7201_ $$aGoodman, Julia M.$$uPortland State University$$041357$$10000-0002-9296-8697$$eAcademic advisor$$7Personal 000042883 7201_ $$aDarney, Blair G.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$10000-0001-8120-028X$$eAcademic advisor$$7Personal 000042883 7201_ $$aGerdts, Caitlin$$uIbis Reproductive Health$$10000-0002-2488-5072$$eAcademic advisor$$7Personal 000042883 7201_ $$aCromer, Risa$$uPurdue University$$10000-0002-7647-9500$$eAdvisor$$7Personal 000042883 8564_ $$921059efc-7dca-4b77-8df5-2aa8bfa097ec$$s3504576$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/42883/files/Jacobson.Laura.2024.pdf 000042883 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:42883$$pstudent-work 000042883 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations 000042883 981__ $$aPublished$$b2024-04-29
