Research summary
In this study I will explore the experiences and needs of people accessing abortion services in the era of telemedicine through narrative, in-depth interviews. By listening to and articulating patients’ experiences, I aim to identify inequities within abortion services, highlight patchy implementation of telemedicine that may have increased inequities in care, and gain insight into the material circumstances of people’s lives and how this influences access to and experiences of abortion care.
