Induced Termination of Pregnancy Data
The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) began
routine abortion surveillance in 2000 to document the
number and characteristics of women obtaining legal
induced abortions, also known as induced termination of
pregnancy (ITOP). Abortion surveillance provides the data
necessary to examine the trend in total numbers, as well as
the demographic characteristics of women who obtain legal
induced abortions and to increase the awareness of an
additional aspect in the spectrum of pregnancy outcomes.
These data are necessary to improve the health and well
being of both women and infants.
