Abstract

Community Health Intermediaries (CHIs)- ANMs, ASHAs, and pharmacists- are key to realising task-sharing efforts to increase abortion access in LMICs, but their knowledge of and attitudes to abortion remains underexplored. Evidence on abortion task-sharing has focused primarily on CHIs' technical and clinical abilities, overlooking social contexts and norms that influence attitudes and behaviours.
