Abortion, whether spontaneous or induced, has become a significant contributor to maternal deaths. The study aimed to identify the causes, consequences, and contributing factors to abortion-related deaths among women aged 15–30. A sample of 100 respondents was selected using a stratified random sampling technique. Data was collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that unsafe abortion practices, lack of sex education, stigmatization, and poor access to reproductive health services contribute significantly to abortion-related mortality. It is recommended that comprehensive sex education, improved healthcare services, and legal reform be prioritized to mitigate this public health crisis. Based on the findings of this study on the high mortality rates resulting from abortion among young women in Kagara Local Government Area, Niger State, the following recommendations are proposed that: the government and educational institutions should introduce and strengthen comprehensive sexuality education in both secondary and tertiary schools. This should include accurate information about contraceptives, safe sex practices, and the consequences of unsafe abortions. Public health facilities should make a wide range of contraceptives available, accessible, and affordable, especially to sexually active young women. This will help reduce unplanned pregnancies that often lead to unsafe abortions....Preview Download Preview +Other Public Health project topics and materials you might be interested in»Impact of public pit toilet system and its associated problems - case study of Udi lga, Enugu state»Cultural practices and implication to health promotion among Akoko northeast local government area, Ondo state»Knowledge, attitudes, practices and perceived benefits of environmental sanitation among adults in Osogbo local government area Osun state, Nigeria»Assessment of the utilization of standard precaution in the prevention of disease among health care workers in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»The challenges facing confidentiality of patients health information and how to improve on it»Health seeking behaviours of persons with tuberculosis among residents in Amanator Ideato south Lga, Imo state»Awareness of health risks and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases among youths in Wadata community, Makurdi, Benue state»Awareness and practices in the prevention of iron deficiency anaemia among elderly in Owan east Lga, Edo state»Challenges of osteoarthritis and its management in older adults above 65 in Awuda village, Anambra state»The attitude of pregnant women towards the utilization of insecticide treated mosquito nets in Gwale local government area of Kano state»Awareness of health implication of self-medication among the students of Paraclete Secondary School, Enugu state»Health care seeking behaviour among the aged 60yrs in Bende local government area in Abia state»Awareness of prostrate disorder and access to counselling among male adults in Madonna University Teaching Hospital, Rivers state»Factors influencing the use of traditional medicine in the treatment of malaria among the residents of Arulogun area, Ede, Osun state»Perception and attitude of women of childbearing age towards caesarian celivery in Ede South Local Government Area, Osun State
