Overview

Secondary analysis shows clinics provide superior medical abortion counselling compared to pharmacies, highlighting gaps in service delivery.

Key Points

  • Participants received significantly more medical abortion information from clinician providers than from pharmacy workers.
  • In Cambodia, 98.1% of clinic participants received info on expected bleeding versus 57.9% from pharmacies.
  • This analysis utilized data from two non-randomised, non-inferiority cohort studies conducted in Cambodia and Ghana.
  • Future research should focus on pharmacy interventions to improve information provision and counselling quality.
