Regional and subregional estimates originally published in Bearak J et al., Unintended pregnancy and abortion by income, region, and the legal status of abortion: estimates from a comprehensive model for 1990–2019, Lancet Global Health, 2020, 8(9):e1152–e1161, https://doi.org/10.1016/S2214-109X(20)30315-6, were since re-estimated using a revised data set, available on OSF, and may slightly differ from those published in 2020.
