The article discusses the use of contraception by abortion patients and postpartum urban women in Mexico City, Mexico. In a retrospective cohort study, a larger number of women who underwent abortion practiced contraception methods more than postpartum women. Based on the results, it is recommended that women should be offered various contraceptive methods to avoid unintended pregnancy and short interpregnancy intervals.

Objective. To identify sociodemographic and health services factors associated with receipt of immediate postpartum (IPP) contraception and the type of contraceptive method received. Materials and methods. We used the National Health and Nutrition Survey (Ensanut), 2018-19, which contains information on 4 548 women aged 12-49 years who gave birth. We described receipt of IPP contraception and method type and used multivariable logistic (n=4 544) and multinomial regression (n=2 903) to examine receipt of any modern method and type of method. Results. 65% of women received IPP contraception. 56.8% of adolescents received long-acting reversible contraception (43.7% IUD & 13.1% implant). Being indigenous, having only one child, or receiving care in State Health Services/IMSS-Prospera or private sector facilities were associated with lower odds of receiving IPP contraception. Conclusions. We identify progress in the IPP contraception coverage among adolescents. Disparities persist in receipt of IPP contraception by type of health insurance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
