Abstract
ObjectivesTo explore Illinois contraceptive providers’ interest in medication abortion training. Study designWe surveyed Illinois contraceptive providers to explore associations between interest in medication abortion training and provider, practice, and patient variables. ResultsOf 1040 reachable, eligible contacts, 251 responded to the survey (24% response rate) and more than half (56%) expressed interest in medication abortion training. Providers with the highest interest in medication abortion training were those with <2 days’ formal contraceptive training (n = 31; 76%) and those who received Title X funding (n = 32; 81%). ConclusionFindings suggest interest in medication abortion training among Illinois contraceptive providers. ImplicationsOur findings suggest some contraceptive providers may be interested in training opportunities around medication abortion. More research is needed to understand whether additional training could increase the number of providers able to counsel, refer, and provide medication abortion.
