Abstract
SummarySixty-seven GPs from a suburb of Copenhagen were interviewed regarding their experience with and opinion of induced abortion. The younger physicians in the sample were (a) significantly more experienced in areas of medical practice relating to abortion care, (b) significantly more positive in their attitude towards abortion, and (c) significantly more likely to emphasize the provision of contraceptive services to women undergoing pregnancy termination. Independent of the influence of age, a significant positive correlation was found between abortion attitude and the emphasis placed on providing contraception. A physician's self-perceived success in providing post-abortion contraception was found to relate in part to his/her view of the proper role to be played by a GP in abortion cases.
