ABORFIRSTMEDLOC_FRND1 indicates the place the woman's closest friend obtained the medication she used to induce her last abortion, but only if it was either the first or only method tried. This medication could include pills called mifepristone or misoprostol (e.g. Mariprist, Mifepak, Cytotec, Miso-Fem, or Misoclear), pills otherwise taken for a fever (e.g. antibiotics or anti-malarial medicines like quinine), emergency contraception, or any other type of pill.
The question associated with this variable was included in the female questionnaire.
