We used mixed-methods to analyze categorical and free-text responses on the reasons for not using postpartum contraception. Descriptive and bivariate analysis were applied to characterize the data and explain the relationship between variables. Qualitative data was processed by manual coding procedures. RESULTS: Among the 115,917 sample respondents, 22.9% reported not using contraception in the postpartum period. The most common responses were not wanting to use birth control (39.3%) and concerns about contraceptive side effects (32.2%). There were 4,508 postpartum people who completed a free-text response and primarily reported not using contraception due to difficulties with appointment processes and/or not enough time, and infertility or trouble conceiving. CONCLUSIONS FOR PRACTICE: We find that postpartum people predominantly reported not wanting to use birth control, contraceptive side effects, infertility, and appointment processes, as reasons for not taking actions to prevent pregnancy. These findings suggest a need for additional counseling about side effects and benefits of contraception and can inform policies and practices that promote reproductive health equity in the postpartum period. </p>","PeriodicalId":48367,"journal":{"name":"Maternal and Child Health Journal","volume":" ","pages":"681-691"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13190350/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147822485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, much remains unknown about the role of SDM in the broader general pediatric population. We sought to describe associations between SDM and child health and healthcare utilization in a national pediatric sample.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Using data from the 2019-2021 National Survey of Children's Health, we examined the association between SDM and forgone health care, missed school days due to illness or injury, and emergency department (ED) visits. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed and adjusted for sociodemographic variables.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The study sample included 31,791 children who needed medical decisions made in the prior 12 months (mean age 8.7 years, 42.3% with special health care needs). Most (85%) experienced SDM. In adjusted analysis, SDM was associated with significantly lower odds of children forgoing needed health care (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.22, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.17-0.27), and lower odds of > 4 missed school days (aOR = 0.80, 95% CI 0.66-0.95). Experiencing SDM was not associated with ED visits.</p><p><strong>Conclusions for practice: </strong>SDM may confer benefits for all children in a general pediatric population. Experiencing SDM was associated with less forgone health care and fewer missed school days due to illness or injury. Future work should explore approaches to SDM that consider the needs and preferences of families across the spectrum of pediatric care.</p>","PeriodicalId":48367,"journal":{"name":"Maternal and Child Health Journal","volume":" ","pages":"575-583"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13135518/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147692734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
