Background- LARC and Birth Spacing Women who used LARC had almost 4 times the odds [95% CI, ] of achieving an optimal birth interval compared with women who used less contraceptive effective methods One study estimated that the subdermal implant was associated with longer interpregnancy interval in adolescents compared with less effective methods (18.7 mo vs mo.) 6/10/ Thiel de Bocanegra H, Chang R, Howell M, et al.

6/10/ Study Design and Methods
Study Objective The Impact of Immediate Postpartum Contraception on the Rate of Rapid Repeat Pregnancy in Adolescents in downtown Indianapolis hospital systems The objective of this study is to determine and to compare the rapid repeat pregnancy rates and subsequent abortion rates in our urban Indianapolis hospital system between postpartum adolescents who received immediate postpartum contraception and those who did not. 6/10/201520
Study Design Retrospective Cohort Study Postpartum adolescents: ages at time of delivery. Delivery between July 1, 2010 to July 1, Received prenatal and postpartum care at Health Net, Coleman Center, or Wishard, and delivered at Methodist, University, or Wishard hospital. Records available in the electronic record system including INPC and Planned Parenthood. Of the 330 charts that were reviewed, 277 of them had complete prenatal and postpartum information throughout the study period. 6/10/201521
Variables 6/10/ age at time of delivery Gestational age race/ethnicity insurance status zip code of residence clinic where prenatal care was received hospital of delivery Mode of delivery Pregnancy complications If immediate postpartum contraception was given (ETN implant or DMPA) Attendance at postpartum visit and if contraception given or changed Date of removal of ETN or IUD Subsequent repeat pregnancy with documented by UPT, LMP, ultrasound, or pregnancy termination procedure

6/10/ Summary
Conclusions 6/10/ Use of LARC is low among adolescents in our hospital systems Immediate postpartum ETN implant placement is very effective in preventing RRP Immediate postpartum DMPA is not as effective in preventing RRP Given low attendance at postpartum visit, the immediate postpartum period is an ideal opportunity to offer effective contraception to adolescents
Future Steps 6/10/ Share ideas and information with lactation consultants to standardize postpartum patient counseling Work with CMS for postpartum LARC reimbursement –Develop tool kit for providers and health systems to educate on LARC and proper coding

Cost of the outcomes of unintended pregnancy was estimated at $4.6 Billion dollars If 10% of women aged switched from short acting forms of contraception to LARC, there would be an estimated cost savings of $436 million dollars.
