Question pretext
My name is_____________. I am part of a team of researchers conducting a national study on post-abortion care in Kenya. The team comprise of researchers from the Ministry of Health (MoH) and African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) among other partners. We would like to ask for your cooperation in collecting information on post-abortion care in Kenya. This research will provide information about reproductive health care and contribute to the improvement of maternal health in Kenya and beyond.
Your health facility has been randomly selected to be part of this study. Your responses about care provided in your facility will be completely confidential and will be used for research purposes only. No personal reference will be made to your participation in this study. Your responses and those of other health providers in Kenya will be used to describe the general picture of abortion care in Kenya. This interview will take 30-45 minutes of your time.
While we would like to note that your expertise and experience make your participation critical and your views valuable to us, we would also like to emphasize that your participation is absolutely voluntary. You are therefore at liberty to terminate the interview at any time if you do not want to continue. Please also note that non-participation or withdrawal from the interview will not prejudice you in any way.
