Future health providers' willingness to provide abortion services following decriminalisation of abortion in Chile: a cross-sectional survey.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To assess Chilean medical and midwifery students' attitudes and willingness to become trained to provide abortion care, shortly after abortion was decriminalised in 2017. DESIGN:We fielded a cross-sectional, web-based survey of medical and midwifery students. We used generalised estimating equations to assess differences by type of university and degree sought. SETTING:We recruited students from a combination of seven secular, religiously-affiliated, public and private universities that offer midwifery or medical degrees with a specialisation in obstetrics and gynaecology, located in Santiago, Chile. PARTICIPANTS:Students seeking medical or midwifery degrees at one of seven universities were eligible to participate. We distributed the survey link to medical and midwifery students
