Description
Erin Pearson and co-authors develop and test a quality score for abortion care in facility and out of facility settings in a 2023 study. Care quality varies widely worldwide, yet no shared, tested method measures it across clinics, pharmacies, drug sellers, and hotlines. A global initiative built the first such standard for low and middle income countries.
The cohort study ran in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Nigeria from 2020 to 2022 with clients aged 15 to 49. The team tested 111 structure and process indicators drawn from prior lists and from client centered research. Indicators were kept if they predicted outcomes such as deaths linked to care or whether a client would recommend the service.
