Objectives: Research on misoprostol-alone outside of the clinic setting has found higher levels of abortion completion (95-96%) than established in randomized clinical trials (85%). With less opportunity for surgical intervention and a longer time period to assess completion, studies of misoprostol-alone outside of the clinic context offer an opportunity for a more complete understanding of the effectiveness of misoprostol-alone. To further evaluate effectiveness in out-of-clinic contexts, we undertook a prospective study of the effectiveness of self-managed abortion with misoprostol-alone.
