Kincaid score for readability, and inclusion of a link to a reputable abortion service on the website. Results:We evaluated 89 websites with information about medical abortion. We found 41 (46%) websites to be fully accurate and complete, with 12 (13%) websites containing outright inaccurate information and an additional 14 (16%) missing pertinent information. There were 29 (33%) sites that reported an incorrect upper limit gestational age and 10 (11%) did not report at all. The average readability score was 43.5 (95% CI: 40.3-46.6) among all websites, which is considered "difficult" and intended for college educated readers. While 41 (46%) websites provided links to abortion providers, 7 (8%) websites gave referrals to abortion reversal services. In total, 19 (21%) websites mentioned abortion reversal, and 11 (58%) of those indicated it was possible. Conclusions: We found medical abortion information on the web varied widely in accuracy and completeness. While most websites contained inaccuracies related to gestational age, many websites also supported an abortion reversal option. Providers should be aware of medical information on the web and more data on patient interpretation of websites is needed.
