The experiences of family planning health professionals providing care to incarcerated patients: a qualitative study

Findings indicate FPHP feel ethics and safety in jeopardy when caring for incarcerated patients. FPHP express needs for improved education about roles, and for supportive professional position statements or clinical workplace policies to buttress efforts at patient advocacy. No FPHP organization in Canada has a position on care of incarcerated pregnant people. Professional position statements and workplace policies could support confident care. FPHP training should include information about incarcerated peoples' needs.
