Barriers to Contraceptive Use in Product Labeling and Practice Guidelines
Many contraceptives are encumbered with potentially unnecessary restrictions on their use. Indeed, fear of side effects, fostered by alarmist labeling, is a leading reason that women do not use contraceptives. In the United States, hormonal methods currently require a prescription, although research suggests that women can adequately screen themselves for contraindications, manage side effects, and determine an appropriate initiation date, leavin…
The Measure of Induced Abortion Levels in Mexico Using Random Response Technique
The authors used the random response technique (RRT) to measure frequency of induced abortion in Mexico, where its practice is illegal under most circumstances. They applied RRT to a national, multistage probabilistic sample of 1,792 women ages 15 to 55. The distribution of women who reported having had an induced abortion was analyzed by sociodemographic characteristics. Bivariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to ident…

Measuring Induced Abortion in Mexico
The authors compare four methods of collecting information on abortion through survey research to measure the levels of induced abortion in Mexico: face-to-face interview (FTF), audio computer-assisted self-interview (ACASI), self-administered questionnaire (SAQ), and a random-response technique (RRT). They tested all methods in three samples: (1) hospital patients in Mexico City, (2) rural women in Chiapas, and (3) women randomly chosen as part …
Abortion, contraceptive use, and adolescent pregnancy among first-year medical students at a major public university in Mexico City
The lower incidence of abortion among the female medical students indicates that when young Mexican women have access to medical information and are highly motivated to avoid unintended pregnancy and abortion, they can do so
Prevalence of battering among 1780 outpatients at an internal medicine institution in Mexico
Providers, Pills and Power
In this article, we examine retrospective accounts of health care workers who participated in the Population Council's clinical trials of mifepristone (RU-486) between October 1994 and September 1995. We conducted focus group interviews with 78 health care providers at 17 sites around the USA, after the clinical trials of mifepristone (RU-486) were completed. We discuss providers' reflections upon power dynamics between them and their clients dur…
Abortion, revised
Preventing unintended pregnancy
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the cost-effectiveness of emergency contraceptive pills, minipills, and the copper-T intrauterine device (IUD) as emergency contraception. METHODS: Cost savings were modeled for both (1) a single contraceptive treatment following unprotected intercourse and (2) emergency contraceptive pills provided in advance. RESULTS: In a managed care (public payer) setting, a single treatment of emergency contraception after un…
Mandatory parental involvement in minors' abortions
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the effects of parental involvement laws on the birth rate, in-state abortion rate, odds of interstate travel, and odds of late abortion for minors. METHODS: Poisson and logistic regression models fitted to vital records compared the periods before and after the laws were enforced. RESULTS: In each state, the in-state abortion rate for minors fell (relative to the rate for older women) when parental involvement law…
Can women use medical abortion without medical supervision
Medical abortion offers a new option to women seeking to terminate their pregnancies. In particular, the mifepristone-misoprostol regimen consists of simple pills, and is potentially suitable for self-administration. Yet access to and administration of this method of abortion remains tightly controlled. Is this strict control medically necessary? This paper identifies the seven steps women would need to accomplish in order to use mifepristone-mis…

Should oral contraceptives be available without prescription
In this paper, it is argued that oral contraceptives should be available without prescription. Prescription status entails heavy costs, including the dollar, time, and psychological costs of visiting a physician to obtain a prescription, the financial and human costs of unintended pregnancies that result from the obstacle to access caused by medicalization of oral contraceptives, and administrative costs to the health care system. After a review …
