title: Women's reports on postabortion family-planning services provided by the public-sector legal abortion program in Mexico City.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate patients' views of family-planning services provided in Mexico City during abortion care at public facilities and their acceptance of postabortion contraception.
  
  
  METHODS
  In total, 402 women seeking first-trimester abortion care in Mexico City were surveyed. Logistic regression was used to test whether postabortion contraception varied according to abortion visit characteristics or patient sociodemographics.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Most participants (328 [81.6%]) reported being offered contraception at their visit and 359/401 (89.5%) selected a contraceptive method for postabortion use, with 236/401 (58.9%) selecting an intrauterine device. Women who underwent surgical abortion were more likely than those who underwent medical abortion to report being offered contraception (P<0.001); women attended by a female physician were more likely than those attended by a male physician to report being offered contraception (P<0.05). Women who attended the general hospital were less likely to report being offered contraception (P<0.001).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Public-sector facilities in Mexico City provide a high level of postabortion family-planning care, and uptake of postabortion contraception is high.
