This nationally representative study shows that abortion is associated with women's age, knowledge of abortion legality, wealth status, number of living children, and caste/ethnicity. Targeted interventions to young women, those in the poorest wealth quintile, women from Terai caste groups, and those who reside in Province 2 would be instrumental to address disproportional access to abortion services. Overall, strengthening contraceptive provision and abortion education programs would be cornerstone to improving the health of women and girls in Nepal.
