Abstract: The article discusses a study on the application of the standard Abortion Incidence Complications Method (AICM) and the modified AICM to estimate the incidence of induced abortion (IA) in Java, Indonesia in 2018. The bases that were used to evaluate each method include data quality and the sexual and reproductive health indicators related to abortion. Results include the percentage distribution of IA reported, and the difference between reports of abortions from women and those from informants.
