An Application of the Confidante Method to Estimate Induced Abortion Incidence in Java, Indonesia.

CONCLUSIONS: The Confidante Method relies on several assumptions that did not hold in this study. Although the method performed better than the direct-report approach, it underestimated the incidence of abortion in Java. More research is needed to understand how abortion-related information is shared within social networks and to assess the appropriateness of applying the Confidante Method to estimate abortion in a given context.
