CURRENTLY ACTIVE IN KENTUCKY, OKLAHOMA, SOUTH CAROLINA AND WEST VIRGINIA, IN 2013 TRAININGS DEMONSTRATED SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN PARTICIPANT KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES AND INTENTIONS RELATING TO FUTURE PRACTICE AMONG STAFF IN 15 HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICE TRAINING SITES, INCLUDING INCREASING TRAINEE INTENTION TO PROVIDE REFERRAL FOR ABORTION BY 53%. THE PROJECT PURSUES THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES: 1.PROVIDE TAILORED OPTIONS COUNSELING AND REFERRALS TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO PRIMARY HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL SERVICE SITES. 2.PREPARE AND ACTIVATE HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDER "CHAMPIONS" TO CREATE CONDITIONS THAT SUPPORT FUTURE ACTIVITY TO EXPAND ABORTION SERVICES AND TRAINING, WITHIN AND OUTSIDE OF THEIR INSTITUTIONAL SETTINGS. BY ASSESSING CURRENT ABORTION REFERRAL PRACTICE AT HEALTH CARE AND SOCIAL SERVICE SITES, IDENTIFYING AND CULTIVATING SITE CHAMPIONS, AND ADDRESSING SITE-SPECIFIC BARRIERS TO PROVIDING COMPLETE REFERRALS AND OPTIONS COUNSELING, WE ARE CHANGING THE MANNER IN WHICH THESE SYSTEMS FUNCTION IN A WAY THAT WILL BE IMMEDIATELY MEANINGFUL FOR WOMEN: INCREASING STAFF COMFORT, REDUCING JUDGMENTAL ATTITUDES, AND PROVIDING THE INFORMATION AND SKILLS STAFF NEED TO COUNSEL AND REFER WOMEN REGARDING ABORTION. ADDITIONALLY, BY CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS TO ENGAGE THAT ARE ROOTED NOT WITHIN THE CONTROVERSY OF ABORTION AS A POLITICAL OR MORAL ISSUE, BUT RATHER WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF CARING FOR ONE'S CLIENTS AND PATIENTS, WE ARE EFFECTIVELY NORMALIZING ABORTION, BUILDING EMPATHY, AND GROWING A COMMUNITY OF SUPPORT FOR ABORTION CARE. MISCARRIAGE MANAGEMENT TRAINING INITIATIVE IN THE FIVE YEARS SINCE PROJECT LAUNCH, THE MISCARRIAGE MANAGEMENT TRAINING INITIATIVE HAS BROUGHT IMPROVED MISCARRIAGE CARE COVERAGE TO OVER 47 FAMILY MEDICINE, OB/GYN, AND PRIMARY CARE SITES IN 5 STATES: ALASKA, MONTANA, OKLAHOMA, SOUTH CAROLINA, AND WASHINGTON STATE.

THE PROJECT PROVIDES UNIQUE EXPOSURE TO THESE SKILLS IN RESTRICTIVE SETTINGS FOR ABORTION, INCLUDING CATHOLIC HOSPITALS AND FEDERALLY QUALIFIED HEALTH CENTERS.
