Distance traveled for an abortion and source of care after abortion
Obstetrics and Gynecology Aug 28, 2017
Upadhyay UD, et al. – The relationship between distance traveled for an abortion and site of postabortion care among low–income women was investigated in this study. For most patients, greater distance traveled for abortion was related to increased probability of looking for subsequent care at an emergency department (ED).
