Contraceptive receipt among first-trimester abortion clients and postpartum women in urban Mexico.
The objective of this retrospective cohort study was to compare uptake of contraception prior to discharge between abortion clients in Mexico City's public abortion program and postpartum women from urban settings. Data were taken from clinical records of abortion clients in Mexico City and from a population-based survey of urban women on their adoption of contraception immediately postpartum. The results showed that women who received abortions in Mexico City's public abortion program were more likely to receive a reversible modern contraceptive method before leaving the facility than urban postpartum women. The authors concluded that women should be offered the full range of contraceptive methods after any obstetric event to help prevent unintended pregnancies and avoid short interpregnancy intervals.

Champions in context: which attributes matter for change efforts in healthcare?
The authors sought to identify and describe champion attributes influencing outcomes of healthcare change efforts. Using postpartum contraceptive care as a case study, they found that effective champions appear to leverage six key attributes to facilitate healthcare change efforts. They concluded that prospective evaluations of the interactions among champion attributes, context, and outcomes may further elucidate how champions exert their effects.
