Prevalence estimation of self-managed abortion in Argentina: a web-based respondent-driven sampling study
A substantial proportion of women in Argentina with abortion experience have had an SMA outside the formal healthcare system, including post-legalisation. Our findings highlight the need to better address the preferences and needs of those facing unintended pregnancy and the potential of webRDS to study SMA.
