The purpose of this research is to understand the relationship between trust in the health care system and choice of contraception during the postpartum period among pregnant women receiving prenatal care.
Research subjects will complete a questionnaire at enrollment and between delivery and within 5 days of hospital discharge.
A chart review will also be completed to gather use of a birth control method at the six week postpartum visit as well as pertinent medical diagnoses and recorded data such as height, weight, body mass index, and contraceptive plan as documented in the postpartum medical chart.
