Background

SBU has been commissioned by the Swedish government to review the positive and negative effects of going through the medical abortion at home. A medical abortion consists of two drugs taken 24-48 hours a part. In Sweden women take the first drug at a clinic and today most women choose to take the second drug at home.

Aim

To review the positive and negative effects of going through the whole medical abortion at home.
