The Community Abortion Morbidity Study was an exploratory qualitative study examining community perceptions of abortion morbidity experience among residents of Kampala and Mbarara districts in 2003. The data came from eight focus group discussions with women aged 18–60, 82 in-depth interviews with women aged 18–60 and men aged 20–50, and 33 indepth interviews with health care providers (HCPs). This report presents evidence on reasons for the occurrence of unwanted pregnancy, abortion practice, health problems women experience as a result of stopping a pregnancy, actions women take to obtain treatment, the barriers they face in obtaining treatment, and the social and economic consequences of abortion.
