Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the availability of postpartum contraception among women on Medicaid, focusing on disparities linked to age and ethnicity.
- Only 0.2% of women received long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) within three days after childbirth, with 36.3% receiving more effective contraceptives within 60 days.
- Younger women (ages 15-20) and women of color (Asian and Hispanic) had significantly lower odds of obtaining effective contraceptives compared to older and White women, indicating a need for improved access in vulnerable communities.
