Data Sources
Ontario Therapeutic Abortions Database - Data Sources

Information on therapeutic abortions (TAs) is collected by hospitals and clinics and provided to the Ontario Ministry of Health. The information is provided voluntarily by hospitals but is considered to be relatively complete. Since clinics must provide the information as a condition of their license, the data essentially capture all in-clinic TAs.
