Ipas’s SMA research in Cambodia and Ghana provides insights into women’s uptake of post-abortion contraception from pharmacists versus clinics. Results showed that although the rates of contraceptive use were the same between women who got abortion pills from a pharmacy versus a clinic, pharmacy clients were more likely to use a less effective method, and contraceptive information and options were more readily offered by clinics, indicating a need for supporting pharmacies in providing more information and effective methods at the time of SMA purchase.
