| Abstract |
Few postpartum women use effective contraception and those who use less effective methods have increased rates of unintended pregnancy. Little is known about postpartum contraception intentions among breastfeeding women. Our objectives were to measure the extent of prenatal contraceptive counseling, to assess contraceptive intentions, and to identify correlates of both among postpartum women who were planning to breastfeed. We conducted a cross-sectional study using a convenience sample of 100 breastfeeding women before their discharge following delivery at a large university hospital in 2015. We used logistic regression to assess three outcomes of interest: not intending to use contraception before 6 months postpartum, reporting receiving counseling on postpartum contraception during prenatal care, and considering the effects of contraception methods on the breastfeeding mother-infant dyad when choosing a postpartum contraception method. Most women (91%) intended to use contraception. Prior history of no contraception use was the sole factor related to not intending to use contraception. The most commonly cited reason for the intended choice of contraceptive method was convenience (35%). Few women (21%) reported considering the effects of contraception methods on the breastfeeding dyad when choosing a postpartum contraception method. Nearly half of women reported never discussing postpartum contraception options with their healthcare provider during prenatal care. In the multivariate analysis, receiving public assistance was the only factor that remained statistically significantly associated with reporting having received contraception counseling during prenatal care. Although most women intended to use contraception, they did not appear to have received adequate prenatal counseling on postpartum contraception. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 March 2017.
All research outputs
#14,339,070
of 22,961,203 outputs
Outputs from Reproductive Health
#1,043
of 1,420 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#173,973
of 309,711 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Reproductive Health
#16
of 25 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,961,203 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,420 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 12.1. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 309,711 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 25 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
