Background: With the high rates of unintended pregnancy and associated maternal morbidity and mortality in the United States, particularly among poor and minority women, it is imperative that all individuals have information about and access to long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) methods in the immediate postpartum period.
Objective: The creation of a framework to provide guidance, address barriers, and dispel myths associated with the implementation of an immediate postpartum LARC program.
Methods: A multistep approach to develop a framework to guide planning and implementation of an immediate postpartum LARC program.
