Abstract
Humanitarian crises disrupt essential services, making it difficult for people to access basic care, including sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services. While data on SRH services in humanitarian settings is lacking, even less is known about how common abortion is or the severity of abortion-related complications in these settings. This evidence brief provides estimates of the incidence of induced abortion among refugee women in Ethiopia and the proportion of these abortions that occurred within the formal health care system. This brief also presents information on the management and severity of abortion-related complications among women living in refugee settings in Ethiopia. The data presented in this brief are based on the application of the Abortion Incidence Complications Method (AICM) in these refugee settings.
