AB  - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the attributes of service users associated with uptake 
      of medical abortion (MA) versus manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) at public health 
      facilities in Vietnam. METHODS: Structured exit interviews were conducted among 
      women who underwent termination at 62 public health facilities in Hanoi, Khanh 
      Hoa, and Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) between August and December 2011. Data on 
      sociodemographic, abortion-related, and service-related factors were compared 
      between women who underwent MVA versus MA. RESULTS: Overall, 1233 women completed 
      the study survey: 541 (43.9%) from Hanoi; 163 (13.2%) from Khanh Hoa; and 529 
      (42.9%) from HCMC. Almost one-quarter of women (23.1%) had chosen MA. After 
      controlling for sociodemographic factors, women living in Khanh Hoa (odds ratio 
      [OR], 13.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 5.3-33.8) and HCMC (OR, 5.8; 95% CI, 
      2.1-15.9) were more likely to have undergone MA than women in Hanoi. Older women 
      were less likely to have undergone MA (P < 0.05), and those who had previously 
      heard of MA were twice as likely to have undergone MA (P = 0.020). CONCLUSION: 
      Uptake of MA was lower than that of MVA and varied by province. Women in Vietnam 
      will make their own judgment about which method to choose if they have prior 
      knowledge of both.
