Trajectories of contraception before pregnancy and after medication abortion among women accessing clinic vs pharmacy services in Ghana
A relatively greater share of women who accessed MA in pharmacies did not use any contraceptive method following the abortion. Additionally, receiving contraception information enhanced modern contraception adoption after MA. Findings highlight the need to develop programmes and strategies to expand the provision of contraception information to women seeking MA, including those using the pharmacy route.
