Those who were older, married, with frequent insomnia, did not use condom in the last episode of serving a client, and would agree not to use condom if paid more, were more likely than others to have bad induced abortion (multivariate OR = 2.34 to 3.64). Those who were younger, had harmed herself, and drank at least 5 cans of beer per day (OR = 0.36 to 3.02) were more likely than others to have the induced abortion performed via improper means.
