Abstract
Self-managed abortion (SMA) is ending a pregnancy without medical supervision, either by obtaining medications (known as self-managed medication abortion) or through other means. Many factors influence a person's decision to pursue self-managed abortion, such as time constraints, financial considerations, and local availability of abortion services. We present on the prevalence, methods and best practices for clinicians in the United States who may interface with individuals undergoing self-managed medication abortion at any point in the process through a harm reduction approach.
