Pathways to care: Factors predicting women’s access to clinic versus pharmacy-based medication abortion in Ghana

We found that cost has the strongest effect on women's choice of MA provider in Ghana. In addition, sociodemographic and abortion-related factors play a role. These factors should be considered in developing strategies to enhance equal opportunity in accessing high-quality and safe MA. For instance, developing strategies to reduce MA costs in clinical settings could reduce the burden on vulnerable women, including those younger who may prefer clinic providers.
