Clinical Trial Summary

Unwanted pregnancies are not only the major cause of maternal mortality and morbidity but are also a great social and financial burden on societies and countries.

Unintended pregnancy also is a major health problem in the United States of America. In the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth assessment, 1.22 million, or 31%, were reported as unintended.
