Unsafe abortion: Global and regional estimates of the incidence of unsafe abortion and associated mortality in 2000, 4th edition
World Health Organization (2004)
Download Resource
Unsafe abortion is entirely preventable. Yet, it remains a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in much of the developing world. Over the past decade, the World Health Organization has developed a systematic approach to estimating the regional and global incidence of unsafe abortion and the mortality associated with it. Estimates based on figures for the year 2000 indicate that 19 million unsafe abortions take place each year, that is, approximately one in ten pregnancies end in an unsafe abortion, giving a ratio of one unsafe abortion to about seven live births. Almost all unsafe abortions take place in developing countries.

Download Resource
This literature review summarizes the current state of quantitative and qualitative research on different health care provider job aid formats and the impact of these job aids on provider performance. This paper does not address job aids used for consultation with patients. Most of the studies discussed focus on physicians or nurses in the United States. Little research exists on the use of job aids for health care providers in developing country health care settings. Future research needs to focus on this area.
