Association of insurance status with provision of recommended services during comprehensive postpartum visits.
Investigators examined rates of recommended services during the comprehensive postpartum visits and differences by insurance type. Data was taken from annual National Ambulatory Medical Care Surveys. Their findings suggested that receipt of recommended services during comprehensive postpartum visits was less than 50% for most services and was similar across insurance types. These findings underscored the importance of efforts to reconceptualize postpartum care to ensure that women have access to a range of supports to manage their health during this sensitive period.

Enabling factors associated with receipt of interconception health care.
This study examined factors associated with receipt of preventive health care between pregnancies (interconception) using data from a study at four health centers in the Baltimore metropolitan area. The Anderson’s Model of Health Services Use model was used to identify data on factors up to 15 months postpartum. Factors included health history, self-rated health, demographics, predisposing factors, and enabling factors. The cohort included 376 women who were predominantly non-Hispanic Black (84%), and low income. Two enabling factors were associated with receipt of care: having a personal doctor or nurse and having non-Medicaid insurance.
