| description | Disparities continue to exist in the timely provision of postpartum contraception. This study aimed to identify prevalence and factors associated with postpartum contraception provision among women enrolled in Medicaid. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the 2014 National Medicaid data, linked to county-level social vulnerability index (SVI) data. Women aged 15–44 with a live birth in 2014 were included. Multivariable logistic regression was used to predict 3-day provision of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) and 60-day provision of most effective or moderately effective contraceptives (MMEC). Overall, 3-day LARC provision was 0.2% while 60-day MMEC was 36.3%. Significantly lower odds of receiving MMEC was found among women aged 15–20 (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.87; 95% CI:0.86–0.89) compared to women 20–44 years as well as among Asian women (aOR = 0.69; 95% CI:0.66–0.72) and Hispanic women (aOR = 0.73; 95% CI:0.72–0.75) compared to White women. The provision of postpartum contraception remains low, generally, and needs attention in communities experiencing poor maternal outcomes. |
