Objectives

Nurses play an integral role in intrapartum and postpartum patient education. This exploratory study aims to assess the attitudes, knowledge, and practices of labor and delivery and postpartum nurses regarding contraception and evaluate for changes in these measures 1 year after an institutional initiative allowing routine availability of immediate postpartum long-acting reversible contraception (LARC).

Study design

In 2014, Montefiore Medical Center began to routinely offer comprehensive immediate postpartum contraception. The initiative included education and feedback sessions for labor and delivery and postpartum nurses on contraception, including immediate postpartum initiation of LARC. Nurses completed anonymous surveys at the beginning of the initiative (n=59) and at 1 year (n=56). We compared baseline and 1 year survey results of contraceptive knowledge, attitudes and practices using χ2 test, Fisher's Exact Test, or t test as appropriate.

Results

Nurses who stated they counseled patients on contraception “always” or “most of the time” increased from 27/59 (46%) to 40/56 (71%) (p=.005). The number of nurses who would recommend the intrauterine device and implant for postpartum contraception increased from 1/59 (2%) to 18/56 (32%) (p<.0001). Attitudes towards injectable contraception and breastfeeding remained negative; 27/59 nurses (46%) at baseline and 34/56 (61%) at 1 year agreed with the statement “DMPA [depot medroxyprogesterone acetate] has a negative effect on breastfeeding.”

Conclusions

Experience working in a location with routine access to immediate postpartum contraception is associated with increased awareness among nurses of postpartum contraceptive options, especially LARC, and increased contraceptive counseling. Concerns about the impact of hormonal contraception on breastfeeding, specifically DMPA, are persistent and prevalent.

Implications

Labor and delivery and postpartum nurses' knowledge regarding immediate postpartum contraception, particularly LARC methods, may change with exposure to routine access to these methods. This exposure may also impact nurses' practices of providing patient counseling on what methods are appropriate for postpartum women.  相似文献

Objective

The objective was to characterize uptake and correlates of effective contraceptive use postpartum.

Study design

We analyzed data from a national, cross-sectional evaluation of prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission programs that enrolled women attending 6-week or 9-month infant immunization visits at 120 Kenyan maternal and child health clinics. We classified women who resumed sexual activity postpartum and did not desire a child within 2 years as having a need for family planning (FP).

Results

We included 955 (94%) of 1012 women 8–10 months postpartum in the analysis. Mean age was 25.8 years and 36% were primigravidas. By 9 months postpartum, 62% of all women used contraception and 59% used effective contraception [injectables, implants, intrauterine devices [IUDs], oral contraceptives [OCs] and tubal ligations]. Most contraceptive users (61%) used injectables, followed by implants (10%), OCs (6%), IUDs (4%) and condoms alone (2%). The majority (n=733, 77%) had a need for FP, and 67% of 733 women with FP need used effective contraception. Among women with a need for FP, effective contraception use was higher among those who discussed FP in postnatal care (PNC) than who did not discuss FP in PNC [prevalence ratio (PR) for PNC alone: 1.35, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.16–1.58; PR for PNC and antenatal care (ANC): 1.42, 95% CI: 1.21–1.67; p=.001 for both].

Conclusions

Two thirds of postpartum women with a need for FP used effective contraception at 9 months postpartum, and use was associated with discussing FP during PNC.

Implications

Integrating FP counseling in ANC/PNC could be an effective strategy to increase effective contraception use.  相似文献

Aims

To investigate the prevalence of EBF at 3-months postpartum, and the early factors for discontinuation.

Design

Observational, retrospective study. Location: Health department of La Ribera, Valencia, Spain.

Participants

Newborns between December 2012 to January 2017.

Methods

Pregnant women were interviewed at postpartum and at 3 months regarding variables associated with breastfeeding initiation and continuation, matched with socio-demographic and obstetric-neonatal information. Main measurements: Prevalence of breastfeeding at discharge and exclusive breastfeeding at 3 months. Reasons for interrupt exclusive breastfeeding. Chi-square determination between qualitative variables.

Findings

One thousand three hundred and thirty-eighth women were recruited. EBF at discharge was 68.2% (913) and at 3 months 46.7% (625). EBF duration was 68.7±32.7 days (95% CI: 66.9-71.2). We found statistically significant differences between the type of breastfeeding and the variables, year of study, country of origin and parity (P<0.001, P=0.005 and P=0.05 respectively). Hypogalactia (21.8%) and lower than recommended increase in newborn weight gain (14.9%) were most frequent factors for discontinuation.

Conclusion

The prevalence of EBF at 3 months is low compared to other similar studies, although we see an upward trend. Belief in hypogalactia influenced the maintenance of exclusive breastfeeding.  相似文献

Background

Many women with opioid use disorder (OUD) do not use highly effective postpartum contraception such as long-acting reversible contraception (LARC). We evaluated factors associated with prenatal intent and postpartum receipt of LARC among women receiving medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for OUD.

Study design

This was a retrospective cohort study of 791 pregnant women with OUD on MAT who delivered at an academic institution without immediate postpartum LARC services between 2009 and 2012. LARC intent was defined as a documented plan for postpartum LARC during pregnancy and LARC receipt was defined as documentation of LARC placement by 8 weeks postpartum. We organized contraceptive methods into five categories: LARC, female sterilization, short-acting methods, barrier methods and no documented method. Multivariable logistic regression identified characteristics predictive of prenatal LARC intent and postpartum LARC receipt.

Results

Among 791 pregnant women with OUD on MAT, 275 (34.8%) intended to use postpartum LARC and only 237 (29.9%) attended the postpartum visit. Among 275 women with prenatal LARC intent, 124 (45.1%) attended their postpartum visit and 50 (18.2%) received a postpartum LARC. Prenatal contraceptive counseling (OR 6.67; 95% CI 3.21, 13.89) was positively associated with LARC intent. Conversely, older age (OR 0.95; 95% CI 0.91, 0.98) and private practice provider (OR 0.48; 95% CI 0.32, 0.72) were negatively associated with LARC intent. Although parity was not predictive of LARC intent, primiparous patients (CI 0.49; 95% CI 0.26, 0.97) were less likely to receive postpartum LARC.

Conclusions

Discrepancies exist between prenatal intent and postpartum receipt of LARC among pregnant women with OUD on MAT. Immediate postpartum LARC services may reduce LARC access barriers.

Implications

Despite prenatal interest in using LARC, most pregnant women with OUD on MAT did not receive postpartum LARC. The provision of immediate postpartum LARC services may reduce barriers to postpartum LARC receipt such as poor attendance at the postpartum visit.  相似文献

Objectives

To identify barriers to postpartum permanent contraception procedures after vaginal delivery and to explore contraceptive and reproductive outcomes of women who experience unfulfilled requests.

Study design

We performed a retrospective cohort study of women requesting postpartum permanent contraception after vaginal delivery from 7/1/11 to 6/30/14 at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NY. We ascertained patient characteristics and outcomes through electronic medical records and birth certificate data search.

Results

Of 189 women in our sample, 78 (41.3%) had a postpartum permanent contraception procedure. Factors associated with unfulfilled requests in adjusted analysis included BMI ≥40 (OR 3.71, 95% CI 1.46–9.48 compared to BMI <35), federal sterilization consent signed ≥36 weeks (OR 5.10, 95% CI 1.64–15.86 compared to <36 weeks) and delivery in the latter half of the week (Wednesday–Saturday) (OR 2.02, 95% CI 1.08–3.79). Documented reasons for unfulfilled permanent contraception requests included patient changing her mind related to procedural issues (21, 18.9%), invalid consent (20, 18.0%), maternal obesity (17, 15.3%), lack of operating room availability (14, 12.6%) and ambivalence about permanent contraception (5, 4.5%). Of 57 women who planned for interval permanent contraception and had institutional follow-up over the subsequent year, 14 (24.6%) had a procedure, 8 (14.0%) initiated long-acting reversible contraception, and 13 (22.8%) became pregnant.

Conclusions

Fewer than half of women obtained desired postpartum permanent contraception after vaginal delivery, with logistical issues and obesity being the most common reported barriers. Health care providers should advocate for access to postpartum permanent contraception, as well as discuss prenatally the individualized probability of nonfulfillment and importance of alternative contraceptive plans.

Implications

Logistical barriers and inappropriate antenatal preparation contribute to the fact that over half of women do not obtain desired postpartum permanent contraception after vaginal delivery. To respect reproductive autonomy and improve care, clinicians and other health officials should eliminate barriers to immediate postpartum permanent contraception while increasing access to alternative options.  相似文献

Objective

To evaluate outcomes of a national postpartum (within 48?h of delivery) copper intrauterine device placement (PPCuIUD) program in six “high-focus states” with high unmet family planning need in India.

Study design

We identified high-volume district hospitals that provided PPCuIUD in six (Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh) Indian states (two per state). Each selected hospital maintained a list of PPCuIUD acceptors with contact phone numbers. We randomly selected 100 women at each site for inclusion in a telephone survey of IUD outcomes at 1 year. Questions regarded IUD expulsion, discontinuation because of symptoms (e.g., pain, bleeding, discharge), discontinuation for other reasons and use of alternative contraception if discontinuation reported.

Results

We could contact 844 of the 1200 randomly selected women, of whom 673 (79.7%) had postplacental insertion (within 10?min of delivery), while 171 (20.3%) had an early postpartum insertion (between 10?min to 48?h after delivery). Of those contacted, 530 women (62.8%) reported continuing with the method beyond 1 year, 63 (7.5%) reported having an expulsion, 163 (19.3%) reported having removals for associated side effects (bleeding, pain and discharge), and 88 (10.4%) reported having removals for other reasons. After removal or expulsion, almost half of the women (46.5%) did not switch to any other modern contraceptive method.

Conclusion

PPCuIUD continuation rate at 1?year was 62.8%. Most removals within 1 year were due to associated side effects. Almost half of the women discontinuing PPCuIUD did not switch to an alternative modern contraceptive method.

Implications

The 1-year continuation rate of PPCuIUD achieved through a large-scale national program in India is satisfactory. The program though needs to address the low uptake of other modern contraceptive methods after discontinuation.  相似文献

Objective

To examine the trends in breastfeeding disparities across Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) eligibility and participation statuses in the last 2 decades.

Design

Secondary analyses from multiple cross-sectional surveys.

Setting

United States.

Participants

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999–2014 included 10,696 children younger than 60 months. Birth cohorts in 4-year increments were created from 1994 to 2014.

Main Outcome Measures

Ever-breastfed status and breastfed-at-6-months status.

Analysis

The prevalence rates of ever-breastfed and breastfed at 6 months were estimated between WIC-eligible vs non-eligible children and WIC-eligible participants vs eligible nonparticipants. Prevalence rates and their 95% confidence intervals were plotted across birth cohorts. Log-binomial regression was conducted to test the trends of breastfeeding in each subgroup.

Results

Ever-breastfeeding rates increased from 52% (WIC participants) vs 57% (WIC-eligible nonparticipants) in the 1994–1997 birth cohort to 71% vs 77% in the 2010–2014 birth cohort—a 36% vs 34% relative increase for participants vs eligible nonparticipants, respectively (P < .001). Breastfeeding-at-6-month rates increased from 28% (participants) vs 30% (eligible nonparticipants) to 34% vs 49% in the same time period—a 21% vs 66% relative increase, respectively (P < .001).

Conclusion and Implications

To meet the Healthy People 2020's goal for breastfeeding at 6 months, sustainable postpartum breastfeeding education and interventions may be needed among WIC participants. Future research focusing on identification of the causal relationship between WIC participation and breastfeeding outcomes is warranted.  相似文献

Objective

To evaluate which characteristics collected at the point of abortion are associated with contraceptive use over the extended postabortion period for women in Cambodia.

Methods

The study includes a cohort of 500 women who attended a Marie Stopes International Cambodia clinic for an induced abortion. The primary outcomes are use of effective contraception ≥80% of the time over the 4- and 12-month period postabortion. We conducted a bivariate analysis to assess the association between each characteristic and the outcome, followed by multivariable modeling to identify the strongest predictors of the outcomes.

Results

Nearly 44% of the women used contraception for more than 80% of the time during both follow-up periods. Several sociodemographic and reproductive factors were crudely associated with the outcomes. In the multivariable model, prior use of contraception, intention to use postabortion contraception, increased number of children and medical abortion were associated with increased contraceptive use over the year postabortion. Occupation was a predictor at 4 months only, and abortion method was a predictor at 12?months only.

Conclusions

The models were satisfactory in predicting the outcome of contraceptive continuation both at 4 and 12?months. The paper sets out a methodology for modeling these predictors that can help inform more client-centered counseling and services for women.

Implications

Factors known when attending a clinic for induced abortion can help inform more targeted and client-centered postabortion family planning counseling and services for women in Cambodia.  相似文献

Objective

To determine the association between provider training level and postplacental intrauterine device (IUD) outcomes following insertion instruction by email only.

Study design

We conducted a single-center chart review of demographics, insertion and clinical outcomes within 6 months of delivery for 116 patients who underwent postplacental levonorgestrel 52?mg IUD placement from October 1, 2016, to March 31, 2017.

Results

We confirmed IUD retention, removal or expulsion in 87 of 116 (75.0%) patients by 6 months after delivery. Complete expulsion or removal for malposition occurred in 20 (23.0%) patients and more frequently after vaginal than cesarean delivery (30.2% vs. 4.2%, OR 9.93 [95% CI 1.25–78.96]) and when a postgraduate year (PGY) 1 physician placed the IUD compared to a PGY 2–4 or attending physician (37.5% vs. 14.5%, OR 3.52 [95% CI 1.25–9.94]).

Conclusion

Postplacental levonorgestrel 52?mg IUD expulsion rates are associated with provider training level as well as delivery route, though the individual association of each of these factors is difficult to ascertain given the high degree of collinearity between these two variables in our study.  相似文献

Objective

The objective was to assess the extent of concordance between self-reported contraceptive use and the presence of contraceptive progestins in serum.

Study design

We evaluated self-reported contraceptive use by using radioimmunoassay to examine baseline serum levels of medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) and levonorgestrel (LNG) among 97 Malawian women enrolling in a contraceptive trial.

Results

Twelve percent (12/97) of study participants who reported no hormonal contraceptive use in the previous 6 months had either MPA or LNG detected in their serum.

Conclusions

The observed discordance between self-report and detection of exogenous hormones in serum indicates that caution is warranted when drawing conclusions based on self-reported contraceptive use.  相似文献

Objectives

The primary objective of this study was to compare the 12-month continuation rate for women who self-injected subcutaneous depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC) with that for women receiving intramuscular depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-IM) from a provider. This research contributes to the broader goal of identifying solutions to support women to use contraception for their full desired duration.

Study design

Participants were clients from 13 clinics in the Dakar and Thiés regions of Senegal who had decided to use injectable contraception prior to enrollment. They chose self-injection of DMPA-SC or provider administration of DMPA-IM. Self-injectors were trained and given three units of DMPA-SC. The provider-injected group received DMPA-IM and returned to the clinics for future injections. We interviewed participants at baseline and after the second, third and fourth injections (the equivalent of 12?months of contraceptive coverage). We employed Kaplan–Meier methods to estimate continuation probabilities, with a log-rank test to compare differences between groups. A multivariate Cox regression identified factors correlated with discontinuation.

Results

The 12-month continuation rate for 650 women self-injecting DMPA-SC was 80.2%, while that for 649 women receiving DMPA-IM from a provider was 70.4% (p<.01). The difference in continuation between self-injectors and those receiving DMPA from a provider remained significant in a multivariate Cox regression model. The primary reason for discontinuation in both groups (44.7% self-injected; 44.5% provider-injected) was forgetting to reinject or reinjecting late. Fewer women reported side effects in the self-injection group than in the provider-administered group.

Conclusions

The higher 12-month continuation rate for women self-injecting DMPA-SC relative to provider-administered DMPA-IM suggests that self-injection may help prevent pregnancy more consistently and continuously.

Implications

Discontinuation of injectable contraception among women wishing to avoid pregnancy may increase unmet need in francophone West Africa. This study showed higher 12-month continuation rates for women who self-injected DMPA-SC, suggesting that this delivery method may improve injectable continuation.  相似文献

Objectives

To explore women's responses to PATH questions (Pregnancy Attitudes, Timing and How important is pregnancy prevention) about hypothetical pregnancies and associations with contraceptive method selection among individuals who present as new contraceptive clients and desire to prevent pregnancy for at least 1 year.

Study design

The HER Salt Lake Contraceptive Initiative provided no-cost contraception to new contraceptive clients for 1 year at family planning health centers in Salt Lake County. Those who wanted to avoid pregnancy for at least 1 year and completed the enrollment survey are included in the current study. We used Poisson regression to explore the association between survey-adapted PATH questions and contraceptive method selection.

Results

Based on an analytic sample of 3121 individuals, we found pregnancy timing and happiness about hypothetical pregnancies to be associated with method selection. Clients who report plans to wait more than 5 years [prevalence rate (PR) 1.14; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05–1.24], those who never wanted to become pregnant (PR 1.16; 95% CI 1.07–1.26) or those who were uncertain (PR=1.19; 95% CI 1.09–1.30) were all more likely to select IUDs and implants than women who reported wanting to become pregnant within 5?years. Greater happiness was associated with lower chance of choosing an IUD or implant (PR 0.98; 95% CI 0.96–0.999). Expressed importance of pregnancy prevention was not significantly associated with any specific contraceptive choice.

Conclusions

Pregnancy intentions and happiness about a hypothetical pregnancy were independently associated with selection of IUDs and implants.

Implications

Pregnancy attitudes, plans and emotions inform clients' contraceptive needs and behaviors. Client-centered contraceptive care may benefit from a more nuanced PATH approach rather than relying on a single time-oriented question about pregnancy intention.  相似文献

Objective

To determine whether differences in combination DTaP vaccine types at 2, 4 and 6?months of age were associated with mortality (all-cause or non-specific), within 30?days of vaccination.

Design

Observational nationwide cohort study.

Setting

Linked population data from the Australian Childhood Immunisation Register and National Death Index.

Participants

Australian infants administered a combination trivalent, quadrivalent or hexavalent DTaP vaccine (DTaP types) between January 1999 and December 2010 at 2, 4 and 6?months as part of the primary vaccination series. The study population included 2.9, 2.6, & 2.3?million children in the 2, 4 and 6?month vaccine cohorts, respectively.

Main outcome measures

Infants were evaluated for the primary outcome of all-cause mortality within 30?days. A secondary outcome was non-specific mortality (unknown cause of death) within 30?days of vaccination. Non-specific mortality was defined as underlying or other cause of death codes, R95 ‘Sudden infant death syndrome’, R96 ‘Other sudden death, cause unknown’, R98 ‘Unattended death’, R99 ‘Other ill-defined and unspecified cause of mortality’ or where no cause of death was recorded.

Results

The rate of 30?day all-cause mortality was low and declined from 127.4 to 59.3 deaths per 100,000 person-years between 2 and 6?month cohorts. When compared with trivalent DTaP vaccines, no elevated risk in all-cause or non-specific mortality was seen with any quadrivalent or hexavalent DTaP vaccines, for any cohort.

Conclusion

Use of routine DTaP combination vaccines with differing disease antigens administered during the first six months of life is not associated with infant mortality.  相似文献

Objectives

We explored levonorgestrel (LNG) concentrations, bleeding patterns and endometrial thickness in women with epilepsy (WWE) initiating an LNG-intrauterine device (IUD) co-administered with antiepileptic drugs (AEDs).

Study design

This pilot study included 20 WWE ages 18 to 45 years with well-controlled seizures and stable AED regimens initiating a 52-mg LNG-IUD (20 mcg/d initial release). We collected blood and measured endometrial thickness before IUD placement and 21 days, 3 months and 6 months thereafter. Participants recorded bleeding/spotting daily. We measured total LNG (radioimmunoassay), serum hormone binding globulin (SHBG, immunoassay) and calculated the free LNG index. We compared total LNG, free LNG index, SHBG and endometrial thickness over time using a linear mixed-effects model.

Results

Total LNG, free LNG index and SBHG levels remained stable from day 21 throughout. Endometrial thickness decreased from a median of 5.9 mm [interquartile range (IQR) 4.6–7.5] at day 21 to 3.3mm (2.8–4.9) by month 6 (p=0.02). Bleeding and spotting days decreased from a median of 16 (IQR 13–23) in month 1 to 6.5 (IQR 4–8.5) in month 6 regardless of AED regimen.

Conclusion

Like women without epilepsy, WWE initiating the LNG-IUD experience stable total LNG concentrations and decreasing endometrial thickness and bleeding over the first 6 months of use.

Implications

Like women without epilepsy, WWE using antiepileptic drugs can expect a stable LNG concentration and decreasing bleeding during the first 6 months of LNG-IUD use. Our data can be useful for guidance of WWE considering use the LNG-IUD.  相似文献

Objective

We sought to evaluate the impact of insurance type on receipt of an interval postpartum LARC, controlling for demographic and clinical factors.

Study design

This is a retrospective cohort study of 1072 women with a documented plan of LARC for contraception at time of postpartum discharge. This is a secondary analysis of 8654 women who delivered at 20 weeks or beyond from January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2014, at an urban teaching hospital in Ohio. LARC receipt within 90 days of delivery, time to receipt, and rate of subsequent pregnancy after non-receipt were compared between women with Medicaid and women with private insurance. Postplacental LARC was not available at the time of study completion.

Results

One hundred eighty-seven of 822 Medicaid-insured and 43 of 131 privately insured women received a LARC postpartum (22.7% vs 32.8%, P=.02). In multivariable analysis, private insurance status was not significantly associated with LARC receipt (OR 1.29, 95% C.I. 0.83–1.99) though adequate prenatal care was (OR 2.33, 95% C.I. 1.42–4.00). Of women who wanted but did not receive a LARC, 208 of 635 (32.8%) Medicaid patients and 19 of 88 (21.6%) privately insured patients became pregnant within 1 year (P=.02).

Conclusion

Differences in receipt of interval postpartum LARC were not significant between women with Medicaid insurance versus private insurance after adjusting for clinical and demographic factors. Adequate prenatal care was associated with LARC receipt. Medicaid patients who did not receive a LARC were more likely to become pregnant within one year of delivery than those with private insurance.

Implications

While insurance-related barriers have been reduced given recent policy changes, access to care remains an important determinant of postpartum LARC provision and subsequent unintended pregnancy.  相似文献

Objectives

Studies that rely on self-report to investigate the relationship between hormonal contraceptive use and HIV acquisition and transmission, as well as other health outcomes, could have compromised results due to misreporting. We determined the frequency of misreported hormonal contraceptive use among African women with and at risk for HIV.

Study design

We tested 1102 archived serum samples from 664 African women who had participated in prospective HIV prevention studies. Using a novel high-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry assay, we quantified exogenous hormones for injectables (medroxyprogesterone acetate or norethisterone), oral contraceptives (OC) (levonorgestrel or ethinyl estradiol) and implants (levonorgestrel or etonogestrel) and compared them to self-reported use.

Results

Among women reporting hormonal contraceptive use, 258/358 (72%) of samples were fully concordant with self-report, as were 642/744 (86%) of samples from women reporting no hormonal contraceptive use. However, 42/253 (17%) of samples from women reporting injectable use, 41/66 (62%) of samples from self-reported OC users and 3/39 (8%) of samples from self-reported implant users had no quantifiable hormones. Among self-reported nonusers, 102/744 (14%) had ≥1 hormone present. Concordance between self-reported method and exogenous hormones did not differ by HIV status.

Conclusion

Among African women with and at risk for HIV, testing of exogenous hormones revealed agreement with self-reported contraceptive use for most women. However, unexpected exogenous hormones were identified among self-reported hormonal contraceptive users and nonusers, and an important fraction of women reporting hormonal contraceptive use had no hormones detected; absence of oral contraceptive hormones could be due, at least in part, to samples taken during the hormone-free interval. Misreporting of hormonal contraceptive use could lead to biased results in observational studies of the relationship between contraceptive use and health outcomes.

Implications

Research studies investigating associations between hormonal contraceptive use and HIV should consider validating self-reported use by objective measures; because both overreporting and underreporting of use occur, potential misclassification based on self-report could lead to biased results in directions that cannot be easily predicted.  相似文献

Objective

To compare the proportion of women receiving same-day long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) between two different models of contraceptive provision adapted from the Contraceptive CHOICE Project.

Study Design

We used a controlled time-trend study design to compare 502 women receiving structured contraceptive counseling in addition to usual care (“Enhanced Care”) to 506 women receiving counseling plus healthcare provider education and cost support for LARC (“Complete CHOICE”) at three federally qualified health centers. We provided funds to health centers to ensure an “on-the-shelf” supply and no-cost LARC for uninsured women. We recorded the contraceptive method chosen after contraceptive counseling and the healthcare provider appointment as well as the contraceptive method received that day. Among women choosing LARC, we calculated proportions and performed Poisson regression with robust error variance to estimate relative risks for same-day insertion.

Results

Participant demographics reflected the health center populations; 69% were black, 66% had a high school diploma or less, 57% were publicly insured, and 75% reported household income less than 101% federal poverty line. There were 153 (30.5%) women in “Enhanced Care” and 273 (54.0%) in “Complete CHOICE” who chose LARC (p<0.01). Among women who chose LARC (n=426), those in “Complete CHOICE” were more likely to receive a same-day insertion, 53.8% vs. 13.7% (RRadj 4.73; 95%CI 3.20–6.98) compared to “Enhanced Care.”

Conclusions

A contraceptive care model that included healthcare provider education and cost support for LARC in addition to structured contraceptive counseling resulted in higher rates of same-day LARC insertion compared to contraceptive counseling and usual care alone.

Implications

Contraceptive care provision which includes contraceptive counseling, healthcare provider education, and “on-the-shelf”, long-acting reversible contraception facilitate same-day initiation of these methods. Interventions that focus solely on contraceptive counseling do not address other structural barriers to same-day contraceptive provision of all methods including cost and provider practice.  相似文献

Objectives

Postpartum contraception plays a significant role in reducing subsequent pregnancy. However, young mothers in Ottawa, the capital of Canada, face various barriers when trying to access contraception after delivery. Through this project, we aimed to explore these barriers and understand the decision-making processes of young mothers surrounding postpartum contraception.

Study design

We conducted 10 semistructured in-depth interviews with young mothers living in Ottawa who had experienced a subsequent pregnancy within 24 months of their first childbirth. In addition, we interviewed 10 key informants who work with teenage mothers. We audio-recorded and transcribed all interviews and analyzed them using inductive and deductive techniques. We used ATLAS.ti software to manage our data.

Results

Both young mothers and key informants report that teen mothers in Ottawa often do not use postpartum contraception or inconsistently use their chosen contraceptive method. Many factors, including cost, personal beliefs, personal priorities and knowledge, influence young mothers' decision making surrounding contraception.

Conclusions

Our study suggests that when young mothers do not use postpartum contraception, the reasons are complex; for some, this is a choice, and for others, this is the result of systems-level, service delivery and information barriers. Supporting policies to ensure that a full range of contraceptive methods are available and affordable and developing educational programs in Ottawa that are sex-positive and nonjudgmental appear warranted.

Implications

Ensuring that a full method mix, including contraceptive implants, is available to and affordable for young mothers in Ottawa could meet significant needs. Addressing existing systems-level, service delivery and information barriers through supporting evidence-based policies and sex-positive and nonjudgmental educational programs appears warranted.  相似文献

Objective

Measuring current use of contraception relies on self-reported responses from survey respondents. Reporting validity may be affected by women's interpretation of the question and may vary by background characteristics of women. The study aims to understand levels and patterns of underreporting of female sterilization in a population with high sterilization rates.

Study design

Data came from the Performance Monitoring and Accountability 2020 survey conducted in Rajasthan, India, in early 2017. In addition to a conventional question to ascertain current contraceptive use, the survey included a probing question; women who did not report sterilization as a current method were asked if they were ever sterilized. Women were defined as sterilization users based on either question. Among sterilized women, we estimated the percent who reported sterilization as a current method. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess differential reporting across background characteristics.

Results

Among women who were ever sterilized, 78% reported currently using any contraceptive method(s), and 77% reported sterilization as the current method. Women in the lowest household wealth quintile or in general caste were less likely to report sterilization as a current method. Time since sterilization was not associated with correct reporting of sterilization.

Conclusion

This study demonstrates, in a population with high sterilization, that sterilization as a current contraceptive method would be substantially underestimated using conventional survey questions. It highlights the importance of context-specific questionnaire adaptation to measure and monitor contraceptive use and provides implications in measuring current use of contraception in populations with high rates of sterilization.

Implications

The paper examined reporting of sterilization as a current method among sterilized women. Only 77% of sterilized women reported sterilization as a current contraceptive method. In a population with high sterilization, inclusion of a probe question in surveys is recommended to understand reporting quality and accurately measure contraceptive prevalence rates.  相似文献
