Abstract Objective the aim of this study was to assess the proportion and determinants of repeat induced abortion among women seeking abortion care services at Debremarkos town health institutions, Amhara regional state, Ethiopia, 2017.Result from the total 567-sample size, 547 women were participated in the study making a response rate of 96.5%. In this study 191 woman reported that they had at least one previous abortion, making the proportion of repeat induced abortion 34.9%. In multivariable logistic regression analysis; illiteracy (AOR=8.45, 95%CI; 1.85, 36.49), living in an urban area (AOR=5.14, 95%CI; 2.29, 11.53), having multiple sexual partner (AOR=6.16, 95%CI; 3.25, 11.68), consuming alcohol (AOR=2.77, 95%CI; 1.52, 5.05) and having a history of physical violence by a male partner (AOR=2.68, 95%CI; 1.45, 4.94) were significantly associated with repeat induced abortion at p value less than 0.05.

Abstract Background In France, induced abortion (IA) has first been authorized in 1975. To improve access to abortion care services, several legislative reforms have been adopted with the most recent consisted of removal of the mandatory cooling off period before abortion, reimbursement of all expense related to abortion and approval for midwives to perform medical abortion. All these changes could affect practice of IA. The objective of the present research was to describe the evolution of abortion practices in Paris region from 2007 to 2017 Methods Exhaustive data from Paris region healthcare insurance system was use to account for all abortions performed among women living in this region Results More than 50,000 abortions are performed in Paris region each year, which represents over one-quarter of national IA. This number decreased from 58,319 in 2007 to 52,080 in 2017 and the abortion rate has decreased over the past decade (19 IA per 1000 reproductive age women in 2007 and 17‰ in 2017). However, there was found territorial disparity with higher rate of abortion in the lower incomes municipalities (22‰ in the poorer Paris region municipality in 2017). This rate remained higher among women aged 18-34 (27.8‰ in 2007 vs 24.6‰ in 20017). Abortion methods have shifted over the years, with increase of medical abortion (47% in 2007 vs 67% in 2017) and decrease of surgical abortion. The analyses have also shown that the average gestational age at the time of abortion decreased with 65% of abortion performed before 9 weeks of amenorrhea in 2007 and 80% in 2017. There rate of abortion performed by liberal practitioners increased from 15% in 2007 to 33% in 2017 Conclusions The measures such as removing the mandatory cooling-off period, increasing number of medical professional involved in abortion have improved access to abortion care services result in much early IA and higher rate of medical abortion. Improved access to contraception might partly explain the decline in IA rate over time Key messages Legislative reforms such as removing the mandatory cooling-off period have improved access to abortion care services. In this last decade, abortion among Paris women are performed much early and there are increasing number of medical professional involved in abortion.
