Early Versus Late Interval Postpartum Copper Intrauterine Device Insertion
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The optimal interval between pregnancies is debated, but a duration greater than 11-18 months has been suggested as reducing complications in the subsequent pregnancy. Improved birth spacing can be a key benefit use of long-acting reversible contraception, but delay to initiation can still be problematic.So women who have recently given birth can be cost-effectively targeted for family planning education and engagement because often they are already connected with health professionals
