RESUMEN

OBJETIVO:

Identificar factores asociados con la búsqueda del servicio de interrupción legal del embarazo (ILE) en la Ciudad de México. MATERIAL Y

MÉTODOS:

Se utilizó un diseño casos-controles. Usuarias del servicio de ILE fueron definidas como casos, y usuarias de control prenatal con 13 o más semanas de gestación con un embarazo no deseado constituyeron los controles. Se ajustaron modelos de regresión logística condicional.

RESULTADOS:

Los años de escolaridad (RM=1.47, IC1.04-2.07), la ocupación (estudiante, RM=7.31, IC1.58-33.95; tener empleo remunerado, RM= 13.43, IC2.04-88.54) y número de interrupciones de embarazo previas (RM=11.41, IC1.65-79.07) se asociaron con la búsqueda de ILE. El factor de mayor peso fue la ocupación; las mujeres que trabajan tuvieron 13.4 veces mayor posibilidad de demandar el servicio de ILE.

CONCLUSIONES:

En el contexto de la Ciudad de México, mujeres con más educación y participación laboral activa utilizan más los servicios de ILE. Se requieren estrategias dirigidas a incrementar el uso de estos servicios por mujeres menos favorecidas.
ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To identify factors associated with the seeking of the legal-interruption-pregnancy (LIP) services in Mexico City. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

We used a case-control design. Users who utilized the LIP were defined as cases, while users of the antenatal care service with gestational age 13 or more weeks and who reported having an unwanted pregnancy were defined as controls. Logistic regressions were fitted to estimate odds ratios.

RESULTS:

Higher level of education (OR=1.47, 95% CI1.04-2.07), women's occupation (being student OR=7.31, 95% CI1.58-33.95; worker OR=13.43, 95% CI2.04-88.54), and number of previous abortions (OR=11.41, 95% CI1.65-79.07) were identified as factors associated with the lookup of LIP.

CONCLUSIONS:

In Mexico City context, empowered women with a higher level of education, or having a work activity are the users of LIP services. Strategies for improving access of women with low empowerment conditions are needed.
