Estimating abortion incidence and unintended pregnancy among adolescents living in refugee settlements in Uganda

Adolescents living in refugee settlements have high rates of induced abortion and unintended pregnancy. Expanding access to sexual and reproductive health information and services, including safe abortion and contraception, is critical. In particular, efforts should focus on strengthening supply chains, ensuring sexual and reproductive health is integrated into humanitarian programming, and strengthening community outreach to disseminate safe abortion information and make contraceptive services more accessible.
