Linking Inter-professional Newborn and Contraception Care (LINCC) Trial - A Novel Approach to Postpartum Contraception Provision at the Well-Baby Visit
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating LINCC intervention - enable co-schedule feature for Family Planning and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 2,518 participants across 5 sites.
Detailed Summary
Pregnancies conceived within 18 months of a prior delivery (termed short inter-pregnancy interval \[IPI\]) place mothers and infants at high risk for poor health outcomes and affect nearly one third of women in the U.S. Rates of postpartum (PP) contraception use remain low, particularly among low-income minority women, leading to high rates of short IPI pregnancies. This proposed study aims to address the gap in the current model of PP contraception care, by developing and implementing a novel approach to link (co-schedule) PP contraception care with newborn well-baby care with the goal of improving access to timely PP contraception.
