| RESULTS: Eighty-three percent ofwomen realized theywere pregnant within the first two months of their pregnancy, and 91% within the first trimester.Eighty-four percent decided before the end of the first trimester to have an abortion, but only 75% obtained one in this period.One in six participants said that pregnancy had resulted froma nonconsensual sexual encounter,and such reportswere more frequent among those who obtained a second-trimester abortion. Women whowere older or who had more schooling had a decreased likelihood of having a second-trimester abortion (odds ratios,0.9 each),whereas those who lived in rural areas,those who did not receive full support fromtheir partners and those who reported a forced encounter had an increased likelihood of having a late abortion (2.3–4.1). CONCLUSIONS: Sex education programs that highlight the importance of recognizing a pregnancy early in gestation, and of obtaining an early abortion if a pregnancy is unwanted,are needed for unmarried youngwomen and men. | |
