{"title":"Important conclusions from abortion studies.","authors":"","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"In general, it can be concluded that the initiative on the determinants and consequences of induced abortion has shown some important patterns. For example, induced abortion is not restricted to adolescents but occurs also within marriage to limit family size. Induced abortion is prevalent both where family planning services are available and contraceptive prevalence is high as well as where family planning is not common, but for different reasons. In the former, motivation to limit family size is high and women would use any option if contraception fails or an unwanted pregnancy occurs. In the latter case, induced abortion forms part of a mix of incipient fertility regulation alternatives, most of which are traditional and of little effectiveness but including some use or improper use of modern methods. Few abortion seekers, and among them even fewer adolescents, were using a modern contraceptive at the time the pregnancy started. High use of traditional methods in some countries leads to abortion as women/couples fail to follow proper instructions with regards to the safe period. Unsafe clandestine abortions are more likely to be sought by poorer women and by adolescents. The findings of this research are increasingly being used to question the legal status of abortion in countries where the law is restrictive, or to strengthen family planning efforts in order to reduce abortion incidence.","PeriodicalId":85356,"journal":{"name":"Progress in human reproduction research","volume":" 29","pages":"6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22015727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Counselling on contraceptive use strengthened in Dominican Republic.","authors":"","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"In the Dominican Republic a study was conducted to identify the main factors associated with the occurrence of induced abortion. The study involved interviews with 350 women admitted in two hospitals with abortion complications, review of their clinical records, and in-depth interviews with 30 of these patients. The results indicated that the majority of these women had a low socioeconomic status and a low level of education. Many were born in rural areas but had migrated to Santo Domingo, the capital, in search of employment. Their average age was about 26 years. Adolescents represented 16% of the total study sample. Most of these women were in some sort of union, but only 13% were formally married. Contrary to popular belief that it is only unmarried adolescents who resort to induced abortions, the study showed that the majority were in permanent or semi-permanent unions. In fact, most of them had been in the union for three or more years. The use of contraception was low and unsystematic, with high discontinuation rates. Although 75% of the total study population declared to have used at least one contraceptive method during their lifetime, only 42% had tried a second method. This project has had a significant policy impact. In 1993, a revised Health Code was presented to the Dominican Congress for discussion and approval. The Senator who introduced this legislation, using results from the study, proposed to modify the law with respect to therapeutic abortions to include a clause that would make abortion legal under certain conditions and make corresponding services available as part of maternal and child health care programs. Also, with a view to lowering the incidence of abortion, PROFAMILIA, an agency affiliated to the international Planned Parenthood Federation, has adopted improved measures, reinforcing counselling and communication efforts to improve understanding of the correct way of using modern methods.","PeriodicalId":85356,"journal":{"name":"Progress in human reproduction research","volume":" 29","pages":"4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22016306","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"In Chile, improved services and counselling reduce abortion incidence.","authors":"","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"A major abortion study was carried out in three peri-urban communities of metropolitan Santiago, Chile. Its aim was to assess ways of identifying women at high risk of induced abortion and to lower the rates of induced abortion in areas where the occurrence of induced abortion was known to be high. The first phase consisted of a baseline survey of three low-income urban communities in metropolitan Santiago. On the basis of the results of this survey a predictive instrument was devised that was later used to identify women at high risk of abortion. The survey and work on the predictive instrument was followed by an intervention phase which lasted 18 months. This included: improved family planning services and visits to households of women classified as being at a high risk of induced abortion in one of the communities; improved services but no special home counselling in the second community; and no intervention in the third (control) community. An important finding was that even with highly committed and very well trained interviewers women underreported induced abortions or reported them as spontaneous abortions. The study, however, demonstrated clearly the impact of the intervention. Over a two-year period, the abortion rate fell by 20%, and in the area of some intervention by 9%; the rate increased by 30% in the control community. These findings have been used to improve family planning services in low-income communities and in the design of reproductive health services for adolescents in poor areas of the city.","PeriodicalId":85356,"journal":{"name":"Progress in human reproduction research","volume":" 29","pages":"4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22016307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method switching and not using modern methods lead to abortions in Mauritius. 方法转换和不使用现代方法导致毛里求斯的堕胎。

{"title":"Method switching and not using modern methods lead to abortions in Mauritius.","authors":"","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Contraceptive prevalence in Mauritius (76%) is among the highest in the world. Yet, it is estimated that each year there are some 20,000 cases of induced abortion, which is illegal in the country. A study based on a sample of 475 women admitted to three hospitals with complications due to induced abortion revealed considerable use of unreliable methods (e.g., withdrawal and natural methods), frequent method switching, and inconsistent use of modern methods. The study also found that women seeking abortion were usually under 30 years of age, and 20% of women with abortion complications were not using any method, and some 50% were using an unreliable method at the time they became pregnant. It emerged that with increasing numbers of women employed, their work schedules hindered their going to a family planning clinic and resulted in abortion being used as a back-up to contraception failure. Among the women with abortion complications, 25% had already had a previous abortion. These findings came as a big surprise to the family planning services. To discuss the findings, a national symposium was held in July, 1993. The symposium was attended by government ministers, members of parliament, and international personalities in the field of family planning. A discussion of the results of the study also took place in the National Assembly, where a motion was tabled to decriminalize abortion. The findings also facilitated, albeit indirectly, the approval of Norplant in the country.","PeriodicalId":85356,"journal":{"name":"Progress in human reproduction research","volume":" 29","pages":"5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22016308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
