Preabortion counseling does not improve postabortion contraceptive use.
2004 AUG 5 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Preabortion counseling did not improve postabortion contraceptive use in a study group of 420 women in Iceland.
"In a randomized trial, the effect of preabortion counseling was evaluated and contraceptive use postabortion described. The 420 women, who were assigned into either an intervention group (n=210) or a control group (n=210), were followed-up 4-6 months later, with a total of 148 and 128 women in each respective group responding," wrote S.S. Bender and colleagues, University of Iceland.
They found "[n]o significant difference . . . between the two groups regarding contraceptive use after abortion (86%, 85%), which indicates no immediate intervention effect," they said.
"The women, in both groups, who had previously undergone abortion were less likely to use contraception. The main contraceptive methods used by intervention and control groups were oral contraceptives (61 and 58%, respectively) and injectables (12 and 11%). Choice of method was mainly based on women's prior perception of effectiveness and convenience of use," Bender and associates reported.
