** The increase in the 1989-1992 figures may not reflect an increase in the number of abortions being performed but rather an increase in the number of providers voluntarily reporting data.
*** As of July 1, 1995, reporting became mandatory for every medical care facility and every person licensed to practice medicine and surgery.
**** Residency data was not available for all abortions in 1989-1990. However, due to improved       reporting, residency was obtained for most of the abortions reported in subsequent years. This improved reporting is also responsible for the increase in the resident abortion ratio between 1990 and 1991.
