Impact of the Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization decision on retention of Indiana medical students for residency.

Background: As medical students consider residency training programs, access to comprehensive training in abortion care and the legal climate influencing abortion care provision are likely to affect their decision process.

Objective: This study aimed to determine medical students' desire to stay in a state with an abortion ban for residency.

Study Design: A cross-sectional survey was distributed to all medical students at a large allopathic medical school.

Association between intrauterine device use and endometrial, cervical, and ovarian cancer: an expert review.

The intrauterine device is one of the most effective forms of contraception. Use of the intrauterine device has increased in the United States over the last 2 decades. Two formulations are commercially available in the United States: the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine device and the copper intrauterine device.

Short-interval pregnancy in the Illinois Medicaid population following delivery in Catholic vs non-Catholic hospitals.

Objective: Catholic hospitals restrict access to comprehensive reproductive health services that could impact patient outcomes. We sought to determine whether delivery at a Catholic hospital is associated with shorter pregnancy intervals among patients insured by Medicaid in Illinois.

Study Design: We used Illinois Medicaid data files to conduct a retrospective cohort study.

"I don't know enough to feel comfortable using them:" Women's knowledge of and perceived barriers to long-acting reversible contraceptives on a college campus.

Objective: To assess multiple dimensions of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) knowledge and perceived multi-level barriers to LARC use among a sample of college women.

Study Design: We conducted an Internet-based study of 1982 female undergraduates at a large mid-western university. Our 55-item survey used a multi-level framework to measure young women's understanding of, experiences with intrauterine devices (IUD) and implants and their perceived barriers to LARC at individual, health systems and community levels.

Contraception Delivery in Pediatric and Specialist Pediatric Practices.

Study Objective: To characterize pediatricians' knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy around contraception.

Design: Cross-sectional survey.

Setting: United States.

Cervical Cancer Screening, Pelvic Examinations, and Contraceptive Use Among Adolescent and Young Adult Females.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to characterize the association between pelvic examination and adolescent contraceptive method use in two time periods in the 2006-2010 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG).

Methods: Using data from the 2006-2010 NSFG, we used descriptive statistics and multivariable regression models to examine the association between pelvic examination and/or Pap smear and use of effective or highly effective contraceptive methods during two time periods (2006-2008 and 2008-2010). We used the design characteristics of the NSFG to produce population estimates.

Neonatal surgical emergencies: stabilization and management.

The transitional period following birth can be complicated by the presence of congenital anomalies requiring emergent surgical management. Newborns with congenital diaphragmatic hernia require immediate intubation and gastric decompression to minimize gastric distention, as well as cautious ventilation to avoid pneumothorax. Newborns with omphalocele and gastroschisis are at risk for bacterial contamination, as well as heat and evaporative losses from exposed viscera.
