Official title: Developing and Validating a Measure of Patient-centered Peripartum Contraceptive Care
Funded at University of Michigan at Ann Arbor · NIH-10879253 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is looking to create a new way to understand how well contraceptive care meets the needs of pregnant and new moms, especially those who might not get the best support, so we can make sure everyone gets the personalized care they deserve.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Ideal candidates for this research include pregnant and postpartum individuals, especially those from marginalized communities who may experience disparities in contraceptive care.
✕Less likely to help
Patients who are not pregnant or postpartum, or those who do not seek contraceptive care, may not benefit from this research.
What this research studies
This research aims to develop a new measure that evaluates how well contraceptive care during and after pregnancy meets the needs and preferences of patients. It focuses on understanding the experiences of pregnant and postpartum individuals, particularly those from marginalized groups who may not receive adequate care. By creating a validated tool, the research seeks to ensure that contraceptive services are tailored to individual patient experiences rather than just clinical outcomes. This approach will help identify gaps in care and improve the overall quality of contraceptive services for new mothers.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved contraceptive care that is more aligned with the needs and preferences of new mothers, ultimately enhancing their health and well-being.
How similar studies have gone: Other research has shown success in developing patient-centered measures in healthcare, indicating that this approach has potential for meaningful impact.
