Contraception and induced abortion in Armenia: a critical need for family planning programs in eastern Europe.

G Dolian; Frank Lüdicke; N Katchatrian; A. Campana, and Alfredo Morabia · 1998

Catalogue summary

Interviews with 200 parous women at a Yerevan clinic found induced abortion functioning as the principal birth-control method, with lifetime median procedures rising by age and lack of contraceptive information driving nonuse.

Why this matters

The evidence identifies a direct Armenian need for family-planning education and access to alternative contraception.
