abstract: 'Objectives: Few studies have examined factors associated with compliance
|
|
|
|
with a postpartum visit (PPV). The identification of such factors is of
|
|
|
|
particular importance in populations with high rates of unintended
|
|
|
|
pregnancies and medical complications of pregnancy. This study seeks to
|
|
|
|
determine factors associated with compliance with a PPV among low-income
|
|
|
|
women in the population served by fourteen Healthy Start sites.
|
|
|
|
Methods: Data from the Healthy Start Survey of Postpartum Women were
|
|
|
|
reviewed to identify variables associated with compliance with a PPV at
|
|
|
|
or beyond 6 weeks. Multiple logistic regression models were created,
|
|
|
|
based on a sociobehavioral model of health services use, to examine
|
|
|
|
which types of factors (demographic, social, enabling or need) are most
|
|
|
|
strongly associated with the use of a PPV.
|
|
|
|
Results: The study population consisted of survey respondents
|
|
|
|
interviewed six weeks or more following delivery. Eighty-five percent of
|
|
|
|
respondents had had a PPV at time of interview. In a multiple regression
|
|
|
|
analysis, enabling factors such as multiple moves (OR (95\% CI) = 0.34
|
|
|
|
(0.18, 0.67)), trouble understanding the provider (OR (95 \% CI) = 0.65
|
|
|
|
(0.43, 0.99)) and appointment reminders (OR (95\% CI) = 2.37 (1.40,
|
|
|
|
4.02)) were most strongly associated with a PPV.
|
|
|
|
Conclusions: This work finds that women with unstable housing,
|
|
|
|
transportation barriers, and difficulties communicating with providers
|
|
|
|
are at risk for not receiving a PPV. This suggests that access to
|
|
|
|
postpartum health services in the Healthy Start communities studied may
|
|
|
|
not be entirely equitable. Policies aimed at improving interconception
|
|
|
|
care will need to address these barriers to accessing health services.'
