Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Media framing of abortion messages is an emerging field of research. However, little is known about how the news media frames abortion messages aimed at influencing adolescents\' reproductive health choices. This study therefore seeks to investigate the framing of abortion in TV news items on three leading Kenyan TV outlets over a period of 3 years, understand Kenyan journalists\' perceptions and experiences with abortion coverage, and to examine adolescents\' perceptions and experiences with abortion coverage on Kenyan televised news media.
METHODS: This qualitative study which will be conducted in two sites-Nairobi and Uasin Gishu counties-in Kenya will purposively sample abortion news items from three leading media outlets aired between January 2016 to December 2019, for content analysis. Additionally, 12 journalists (9 reporters, 3 news editors) will be purposively sampled for Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) on journalist framing of abortion messages. Finally, convenience sampling will be used to select approximately 48 university-going adolescents for four Focus Group Discussions (FGDs)-2 female, 2 male- aimed at examining adolescents\' perceptions and experiences with abortion coverage in the broadcast news media. The KIIs and FGDs will be audio-recorded, transcribed and translated. These data will be analyzed thematically.
CONCLUSIONS: This study moves beyond interrogating only media items to further exploring framing from the perspectives of media consumers and investigations in the process behind production of abortion messages. The study interrogates abortion messages aimed at younger demographics such as adolescents as well as the gendered differences of the effects of these abortion messages, an area barely explored. The study findings will be informative to those who wish to develop media that could be used to promote safe abortion as well as advocate for sexual reproductive health rights, especially among adolescents.

摘要：
背景：堕胎消息的媒体框架是一个新兴的研究领域。然而,对新闻媒体如何构建旨在影响青少年生殖健康选择的堕胎信息知之甚少。因此，这项研究旨在调查3年来肯尼亚三家主要电视台的电视新闻中堕胎的框架。理解肯尼亚记者对堕胎报道的看法和经验，并检查青少年对肯尼亚电视新闻媒体堕胎报道的看法和经验。
方法：这项定性研究将在肯尼亚的内罗毕和UasinGishu县这两个地点进行，将有目的地对2016年1月至2019年12月期间播出的三家主要媒体的堕胎新闻进行抽样，以进行内容分析。此外,12名记者（9名记者，3名新闻编辑）将针对记者对堕胎信息的框架进行有目的地采样，以进行关键线人访谈（KIIs）。最后,便利抽样将用于选择大约48名上大学的青少年参加四个焦点小组讨论(FGD)-2名女性，2名男性-旨在检查广播新闻媒体中青少年对堕胎报道的看法和经验。KII和FGD将录制音频，转录和翻译。这些数据将按主题进行分析。
结论：这项研究不仅限于询问媒体项目，还从媒体消费者的角度进一步探索框架，并在堕胎信息产生过程中进行调查。该研究调查了针对青少年等年轻人口的堕胎信息，以及这些堕胎信息影响的性别差异，一个几乎没有探索过的领域。研究结果将为那些希望开发可用于促进安全堕胎和倡导性生殖健康权利的媒体的人提供信息，尤其是青少年。
