OHSU-PSU School of Public Health Annual Conference

OHSU-PSU School of Public Health Annual Conference
Objective: We used the newly developed Abortion Care Quality (ACQ) Tool to compare client-reported quality of medication abortion care by modality (facility-based versus pharmacy-based self-managed abortion (SMA)) in Bangladesh.
Study Design: We used the abortion client ACQTool exit and 30-day follow-up surveys and bivariate statistics to compare 18 client-reported quality indicators grouped in six domains and eight abortion outcomes, by service modality. We used multivariable logistic regression to identify factors associated with selected quality indicators and outcomes (abortion affordability, information provision, and knowing what to do for an adverse event), controlling for client socio-demographic characteristics.
Results: Of 550 abortion clients, …
