Women's Preference for Receiving Abortion in Primary Care Settings

The majority of women surveyed theoretically would choose to have a procedure at their primary care clinic. There were some regional differences between New York and Chicago. Although many variables used in this study did not explain the respondents' preferences, the primary care clinic as site for abortion care appears to be an important potential option for many women. Primary care training programs should teach full-spectrum reproductive healthcare to help meet the needs of their patients.
