Who is studied

The proposed study will be a large, longitudinal, prospective, quantitative study among women seeking termination services at 14 diverse facilities in 7 provinces (two facilities in each province) of Nepal. The specific facilities were randomly selected from a list of providers who served more than 60 women in FY 2016/17. Providers who serve more than 60 women per year make up 44% of all providers but provide 92% of termination services. One non-governmental organization and one public site was randomly selected within each of 7 provinces so that their chance of selection was proportionate to the number of women served. These sites are a representative sample of women seeking care.
