^***p<.001.

^†Results differ from those published in Gebreselassie et al. (reference 8) because NGO facilities were excluded from the sample in 2014 and were subsequently removed from this analysis to improve comparability between the two waves.

^‡Sizes of subgroups (counts) are unweighted, whereas percentages were calculated with weights for national representation; percentages are proportions of nonmissing responses, except where explicitly noted.

^§For both years, the “other” category refers primarily to uterotonics and manual removal of products.

^††Physicians include specialists, general practitioners, residents and interns; midlevel providers include nurses, midwives, health officers and integrated emergency surgical officers. Notes: MVA/EVA=manual or electric vacuum aspiration. PAC=postabortion care. na=not applicable. Percentage distributions may not add to 100.0% because of rounding.
