Abstract Objective: To understand the status of abortion service for youth provided by public hospitals in different regions of China on the perspective of the service providers, and to provide the evidence in order to improve the abortion service quality for the youth and reduce their abortion incidence. Methods: The purposive sampling method of non probability sampling was used to select the participants, and the self designed questionnaire was used, and a self administered survey was conducted to collect the data from the participants who worked in the public hospitals from Chongqing, Zhejiang province, and Tianjin. Results: A total of 276 participants accepted the survey. About 273 of the returned questionnaires were valid. There was significant difference about the number of induced abortion among the youth (<19 years old) among these hospitals, while most of them had a lower probability of recurrent abortion. There was significant difference about induced abortion services in these areas. For example, the proportions of the young patients could easier access to the private room during the time of treatment in Chongqing was 62.0%, which was higher than that (35.2%) in Zhejiang or that (39.2%) in Tianjin. 98.1% participants thought that it was necessary to improve the quality of the service for the youth, and half of them admitted it was difficult to do so. Conclusion: In terms of the induced abortion service for the youth, the participants who accepted this survey have good service conscious, while their service concept should be further improved. At the same time, further studies should be done to rich the related evidence.
