Objectives: While providing medication abortion in primary care has the potential to expand abortion access and decrease stigma, provision of this care is still largely limited to specialized reproductive health clinics. Family physicians are well-positioned to provide medication abortions given their geographic distribution and long-term relationships with patients but face logistical, institutional, and other structural barriers. Our multidisciplinary research team conducted a qualitative study to understand how communications messaging and strategies could be leveraged to encourage family physicians to overcome these barriers.
