Knowledge, attitudes, practices, and behaviors among providers of abortion-related care

A referral maternity hospital in Jigawa state, Nigeria, a fragile setting—Results of the AMoCo Study

This evidence brief from the AMoCo study presents selected results of a knowledge, attitudes, practices, and behaviors (KAPB) survey given to health professionals in Jahun, Nigeria providing abortion-related care. Providers are critical to providing timely and high-quality comprehensive abortion care (CAC) that can decrease abortion-related complications. This survey assessed not only the KAPB of CAC providers in hospital settings but also identified provider-related barriers to adequate CAC and points for improvement in the provision and accessibility of CAC services.
