Due to potential to improve family planning, clinicians are increasingly interested in shortening the time to postpartum visits, but lack an evidence base to change policy.There are no studies that have examined the effectiveness of shortened interval to postpartum visit on attendance rate, contraception use, and rapid repeat of pregnancy (RROP). With this research, the investigators propose to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine the effect of reduced time interval to postpartum visit (3-4 weeks rather than 6-8 weeks) on postpartum visit attendance rate, contraceptive use, and RROP.

Other | Racial Differences | Compare the effectiveness of 3-4 week and 6-8 week intervals to postpartum visit on reducing racial differences in postpartum visit attendance rates and contraceptive use. Specifically, the study team hypothesizes that the difference in postpartum visit attendance and consistent contraceptive use rates between AA and CA study participants will be lower among study participants with postpartum visits scheduled 3-4 weeks after delivery compared to study participants scheduled for visits 6-8 weeks after delivery. | baseline, postpartum, 3, 6, 9, 12, & 18 month follow-ups | |
Primary | Postpartum Clinic Attendance | To compare the effectiveness of 3-4 week and 6-8 week intervals to postpartum visit on improving the rate of postpartum visit attendance. The investigators hypothesize that study participants with postpartum visits scheduled 3-4 weeks after delivery will be more likely to attend visits than study participants scheduled for visits 6-8 weeks after delivery. | assessed at 12 weeks postpartum | |
Secondary | Contraception Use | Compare the effectiveness of 3-4 week and 6-8 week intervals to postpartum visit on consistent contraceptive use | Assessed at 3, 6, 9, 12, & 18 month follow-ups | |
Secondary | Rapid Repeat Pregnancy | Compare the effectiveness of 3-4 week and 6-8 week intervals to postpartum visit on repeat pregnancy | Assessed at 3, 6, 9, 12, & 18 month follow-ups | |
Secondary | Cost effectiveness | Compare overall cost of postpartum care | 18 month postpartum |
