Effectiveness of self-managed medication abortion between 13 and 24 weeks gestation: Summary of a retrospective review of case records from accompaniment groups in Argentina, Chile, and Ecuador

In some settings where abortion services are not available in hospital institutions, feminist networks have emerged to support individuals seeking an abortion. Trained volunteers or "accompaniers" provide telephone or in-person support to those who self-manage an abortion through evidence-based protocols. This analysis—conducted in partnership with La Revuelta in Argentina, Con Amigas and En La Casa in Chile, and Las Comadres in Ecuador—evaluates the effectiveness of self-managed abortion with accompanying support in the second trimester of pregnancy.
