Do women with a previous unintended birth subsequently experience missed opportunities for postpartum family planning counseling? A multilevel mixed effects analysis.

Client-provider communication about family planning (FP) remains an important strategy for preventing unintended pregnancy. Yet, the literature lacks empirical studies examining whether and how women's intendedness of a recent pregnancy may impact subsequent receipt of FP counseling. We investigated whether the intendedness of a recent pregnancy is associated with subsequent missed opportunities (MOs) for FP counseling, taking into account compositional and contextual factors.

Classification of periviable pregnancy-ending interventions for maternal life endangerment as induced abortion.

Objectives: To explore how US obstetrician-gynecologists (OB/GYNs) classify periviable pregnancy-ending interventions for maternal life endangerment.

Study Design: From May to July 2021, we performed an explanatory sequential mixed methods study of US OB/GYNs, recruited through social media and professional listservs. We administered a cross-sectional survey requesting institutional classification of labor induction or surgical evacuation of a 22-week pregnancy affected by intrauterine infection, using chi-square tests and logistic regression to compare determinations by physician and institutional factors.

Access to abortion training.

The changing political landscape has had a significant impact on abortion training in the United States. Access to training in medical and surgical abortion has been improving over the past several decades, though significant barriers exist in training providers adequately. We sought to evaluate access to abortion training to providers, including obstetrician-gynecologists, family practice physicians, and advanced practice providers.

Special report: implementing immediate postpartum LARC in Florida.

Women are often highly motivated to obtain contraception during the immediate postpartum period. However, not all women receive contraception, particularly long-acting reversible contraceptive methods, during this time. One barrier to immediate postpartum contraception is the cost of placing long-acting reversible contraceptives, because such devices have a large upfront cost and historically could not be charged separately from the global delivery fee.
