Randomized Controlled Trial
A telemedicine model for abortion in South Africa: a randomised, controlled, non-inferiority trial.
Telemedicine for medical abortion increases access to safe abortion but its use has not been described in a controlled trial. We aimed to investigate the effectiveness, adherence, safety, and acceptability of a modified telemedicine protocol for abortion compared with standard care in a low-resource setting. ⋯ Grand Challenges Canada and the Swedish Research Council.
