Summary View help for Summary
These data come from a survey of 1,338 women who received post-abortion care at 39 Ugandan health facilities. This dataset contains information on treatment costs, on the impact of abortion complications on children in the household, on the productivity of the respondent and other household members, and on changes in their economic circumstances. It also contains data collected via survey from the medical care provider. The final file includes 420 female patients, who responded to both the initial and follow-up interviews, and were classified as certainly, probably or possibly having had an induced abortion.
