First seen Feb 17, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study looked at whether people who have an abortion are more likely to keep using a birth control shot (Depo-Provera) if they can inject it themselves at home versus getting it from a clinic. About 263 participants chose either self-injection or clinic injection and were followed for 6 months. The goal is to see if self-injection helps people stay on birth control longer and gives them more control over their reproductive health.
