Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether contraceptive counseling is effective on acceptance and use of methods in women following an abortion.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Contraceptive counseling is considered an essential component of post abortion care (PAC) programmes and it is recommended to prevent unintended pregnancies and unsafe, repeated abortions. Indeed, most maternal deaths related to unsafe abortions could be prevented by expanding and improving family planning provision.
