OBJECTIVE: Minimal evidence exists on the continuation of contraception following termination of pregnancy. Continuation of effective contraception is important because it has been found to reduce unintended pregnancies. This study aims to determine the rate of continuation and choice of contraception following termination of pregnancy.
METHODS: A cross-sectional analytic study was undertaken of 400 patients undergoing termination of pregnancy over 2 years. Demographic information and contraception choice prior to, at time of, and 6 months following termination were collected. Data were analyzed to assess relationships between patient characteristics and contraceptive choice.
RESULTS: Prior to termination, 58.5% of patients were not using contraception and 22.4% used a less effective method (e.g., barrier or fertility awareness). Following termination, 99.7% of patients chose a method of contraception, and 95.2% chose a more effective method (e.g., long acting reversible contraception, permanent sterilization, combined hormonal contraceptives, progesterone-only contraceptive). Six months following termination, 85.8% of patients were using contraception. A more effective method was continued by 37.8%. There were no significant relationships between choice of contraception and age, previous pregnancies, or social determinants of health. Patients living with their sexual partner were significantly more likely to switch to a less effective method of contraception at 6 months.
CONCLUSIONS: Following termination of pregnancy, almost all patients chose a method of contraception and most continued using contraception 6 months following termination.
