LINCC Trial Summary

This trial will improve access to timely contraception for women who deliver babies, by developing and implementing a new approach to connect contraception care with newborn care.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women who have recently given birth and are visiting one of the selected 7 CHC sites with their infants for the first well-baby visit, typically 3-5 days post-delivery. It's not open to men, or women who had tubal ligation or planned long-term birth control right after delivery, nor those who needed an emergency hysterectomy.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing a new approach called LINCC intervention that links postpartum contraception care with newborn baby care by scheduling them together. The goal is to improve access to timely postpartum contraception and reduce health risks associated with pregnancies occurring close together.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on scheduling interventions rather than medications or medical procedures, there are no direct side effects related to drugs or treatments. However, participants may experience logistical issues or stress related to attending combined appointments.

LINCC Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Intervention - Aim 2Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
During the intervention period, staff will capture women during the first well-baby visit (WBV) and offer to have the next visit co-scheduled for infant and contraception care. Appointments are scheduled during the discharge process at the end of each WBV. During the discharge process all women 0-6 months postpartum will be identified by clerical staff through review of each pediatric clinic beforehand and through an electronic flag alert in the infant's electronic medical record. The pre-review of pediatric clinic schedules and the use of the flag will remind staff to offer the mother a co-scheduled visit for newborn and contraceptive care at the time of the next newborn visit.
Group II: Control - Aim 2Active Control1 Intervention
Clinics will schedule postpartum contraception using normal clinic procedures.
