This guide, originally created by medical students in 1970, was revised by two undergraduates in 1974. It directs students to safe abortion care providers at Duke and in Durham, implores students not to self-administer abortions, and explains various contraception methods. The guide was distributed by the Committee on Contraception and Abortion (est. 1970), which was made up of Duke medical students committed to distributing information about safe sexual health options.
