evidence: Findings from this study indicate great heterogeneity in the prevalence of pregnancy termination across these 36 LMICs and are related to women’s demographic and personal characteristics. Married women, having one or more living children, older age women, and those with primary and secondary levels of education were the leading factors associated with pregnancy termination.

Such a distinction will guide pregnancy termination-specific public health and medical intervention needs. [...] Abortion (Termination Of Pregnancy).
