It is well recognised that attendance at abortion services presents an important opportunity for the provision of individually tailored information regarding contraception to assist women avoid the need for subsequent procedures. However, differential use of abortion services may also indicate variations in knowledge levels, attitudes to risk, attitudes towards abortion, partner communication, gender power and differential access to services. Further research is required to clarify these potential relationships so that suitable health promotion activities can be developed.

“…Efforts should be directed to contraceptive counselling with couples after a termination of pregnancy to avoid the next abortion. Although contraceptive counselling perhaps needs to be improved in Hungary also, but the compliance with the chosen optimal contraceptive method is poor after abortion [22]. The contraceptive advice of the doctors has a short-lived effect.…”

“…But this should not detract the emphasis from primary prevention, as often an unwanted pregnancy also equates to unsafe sex and a possible STI. Dedicated contraceptive counselling with particular (Garg et al 2001;Jaffer and Newton 2000;Yassin and Cordwell 2005). Teenagers are generally considered to exhibit risk-taking behaviour with poor contraceptive practices.…”

The incidence of repeat termination of pregnancies (TOP) has been increasing in the past decade in-spite-of widespread availability of free and effective contraceptive methods. A retrospective analysis of case notes of women referred for TOP in the Family Planning clinic at Luton, between January and October 2005 was carried out. A total of 159 women were referred for TOP. Of these, 42 (26.4%) were repeat procedures. In this subgroup, 78.5% had used one or more contraceptive methods after the first termination. However, only 61.9% of them continued to use contraception at the time of presentation for a repeat TOP, the most common method being the male condom. Half of the total women seen for a repeat TOP were under 6-weeks' gestation and 14.2% had been treated for sexually transmitted infections in the past. The incidence of repeat TOPs is increasing in the UK. Many studies have shown that the periabortion contraceptive practices are generally poor. In our study, women undergoing repeat termination of pregnancies were either not using contraception or using a method with a high failure rate. We also found the highest number of repeat TOPs occurring in the 20 - 25 age group. Effective contraceptive counselling is vital to combat this worrying trend. Routine 2-week follow-up appointments after TOP and regular auditing of the periabortion contraceptive practices are needed.
