Linking Inter-professional Newborn and Contraception Care

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Family Planning, Contraception, PostPartum

In brief

Pregnancies conceived within 18 months of a prior delivery (termed short inter-pregnancy interval \[IPI\]) place mothers and infants at high risk for poor health outcomes and affect nearly one third of women in the U.S. Rates of postpartum (PP) contraception use remain low, particularly among low-income minority women, leading to high rates of short IPI pregnancies. This proposed study aims to address the gap in the current model of PP contraception care, by developing and implementing a novel approach to link (co-schedule) PP contraception care with newborn well-baby care with the goal of improving access to timely PP contraception.

You may qualify if…

• Eligible participants include women presenting with their infants at one of the 7 chosen CHC sites for their first WBV (typically 3-5 days after delivery).

You may not qualify if…

• Women will be excluded if they had a tubal ligation or a long acting reversible contraception planned immediately after delivery. Additionally, women will be excluded if they needed an emergency hysterectomy due to life threatening bleeding during delivery. Any male patients will be excluded from the study because the study outcomes of contraceptive method use and pregnancy status are not applicable to males.
