Project abstract
Goal: Estimate the acceptability of implantable etonorgestrel (Implanon™) as a method of contraception inserted immediately following an induced abortion.
Objectives:
- Determine the continuation rate after one year in the post-abortion population.
- Describe bleeding patterns for the first three months after insertion immediately after an abortion.
- Identify factors associated with patient satisfaction with the single-rod implant as contraception post-abortion.
- Determine whether subjects would use this method again and/or recommend it to others.
