PI confirmed that this is not a clinical trial and was inadvertently entered in the system

This national, qualitative study of physicians who provide abortion care aims to better understand the facilitators of abortion provision among generalist clinicians in OB-GYN and Family Medicine.

This is a nationwide qualitative study of 20 to 40 physicians who provide abortion services as part of their scope of practice. Providers will participate in a semi-structured interview using an interview guide that addresses 4 domains of interest including: (1) initiation of abortion services, (2) barriers to abortion provision, (3) facilitators of abortion provision and (4) acquired expertise and coaching for success.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Practicing obstetrician-gynecologists and family medicine physicians who currently provide or in the past have provided abortion services (medication abortions, surgical abortions and/or induction abortions) as part of their clinical practice will be eligible for study participation.
• All providers who meet these criteria will be eligible regardless of providers' gestational age cutoff, abortion indication limitations and/or restrictions, or number of abortions provided.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Physicians who work solely at a designated abortion facility, e.g., Planned Parenthood, without an alternate practice site, or who provide only abortions, are not eligible for study participation.
