Questions and instructions

Literal question

Oftentimes women in Kenya go to a health center or seek medical treatment after having an abortion, and there are many reasons why. Some women will experience a health complication and need care from a doctor. Some women just want to make sure the pregnancy is gone. In some cases, women are told to go to a health facility after they take a medication and start bleeding.

Thinking about your experience, did you ever go to a health facility after you used [q401_label], [q404a_label], [q404b_label], [q404d_label], [q404f_label], [q404h_label], [q404j_label], [q404l_label], [q404n_label] to induce an abortion? Again, this could be because you were experiencing a health complication from that abortion, because someone advised you to get medical treatment, because you wanted to confirm the pregnancy was over, or for some other reason.
