title: [Repeat induced abortion: A multicenter study on medical abortions in France in 2014].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the social characteristics of women seeking a medical abortion, and the conditions of that abortion, according to whether they had one or more previous induced abortions.
  
  
  METHODS
  An observational study was carried out in 11 French units in 2013-2014, among women 18 years or older. A self-administered questionnaire on the abortion context and social situation was given to them, as well as a diary to record the pain level for each of five days following the mifepristone intake. The sample included 453 women.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Among the respondents, 22% had had one previous abortion and 8% had had two or more. Women having had a previous voluntary abortion were more often isolated and in a poorer social situation than women having their first abortion.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Better support for contraception after abortion could reduce the number of repeated abortions.
