abstract: 'Objectives The United States is one of only three countries worldwide
with no national policy guaranteeing paid leave to employed women who
give birth. While maternity leave has been linked to improved maternal
and child outcomes in international contexts, up-to-date research
evidence in the U.S. context is needed to inform current policy debates
on paid family leave. Methods Using data from Listening to Mothers III,
a national survey of women ages 18-45 who gave birth in 2011-2012, we
conducted multivariate logistic regression to predict the likelihood of
outcomes related to infant health, maternal physical and mental health,
and maternal health behaviors by the use and duration of paid maternity
leave. Results Use of paid and unpaid leave varied significantly by
race/ethnicity and household income. Women who took paid maternity leave
experienced a 47\% decrease in the odds of re-hospitalizing their
infants (95\% CI 0.3, 1.0) and a 51\% decrease in the odds of being
re-hospitalized themselves (95\% CI 0.3, 0.9) at 21 months postpartum,
compared to women taking unpaid or no leave. They also had 1.8 times the
odds of doing well with exercise (95\% CI 1.1, 3.0) and stress
management (95\% CI 1.1, 2.8), compared to women taking only unpaid
leave. Conclusions for Practice Paid maternity leave significantly
predicts lower odds of maternal and infant re-hospitalization and higher
odds of doing well with exercise and stress management. Policies aimed
at expanding access to paid maternity and family leave may contribute
toward reducing socio-demographic disparities in paid leave use and its
associated health benefits.'
