Measure
Contraception-Immediate Start
contraception after abortion and before leaving the clinic, observed by clinic staff timing of initiation of transdermal patch after an abortion: the initiation of the patch after abortion is dictated by the study as opposed to offering several options (i.e. first Sunday of period). For this arm it is to place the patch in the clinic with clinic staff before leaving the clinic
Contraception-Delayed Start
instructed to begin contraception the first Sunday after leaving the clinic timing of initiation of transdermal patch after an abortion: the initiation of the patch after abortion is dictated by the study as opposed to offering several options (i.e. first Sunday of period). For this arm it is to place the patch in the clinic with clinic staff before leaving the clinic
