Postpartum contraception plans among a cohort of pregnant incarcerated individuals

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate the documentation and fulfillment of postpartum contraception plans among pregnant individuals incarcerated in a state prison system. They found that only 44.2% of patients had a documented contraception plan, with a notable discrepancy between patients' preferences and the contraception methods provided at delivery. This highlights potential gaps in communication and policy regarding postpartum contraception for incarcerated individuals.
