The closures of health services, including reproductive health services, health worker redeployment and barriers to movement from lockdowns reduced access to care.…”

“…This led to declining coverage of contraceptives, post-abortion care, maternal health services and immunisation, with 13.5 million children left unprotected from vaccine preventable diseases. 2 School closures led to 370 million children missing out on learning, school meals and social interaction, affecting child and adolescent mental health, and increasing risks of sexual abuse, gender-based violence and adolescent pregnancy. 2 4 Social determinants such as poor quality diets, poorly ventilated, overcrowded housing and transport raised susceptibility to and severity of COVID-19.…”

Background and Objective Interconception care (ICC) is a means of improving health outcomes for women and children by mitigating maternal risks between pregnancies. Within a pediatric medical home ICC is reliant on adherence to well-child visits (WCVs). We hypothesized that a pediatric-based ICC model would remain successful in providing access to services for adolescent women for those seen during the COVID19 pandemic. The objective of this study was to determine if the COVID19 pandemic influenced LARC use and repeat pregnancy for those seen for ICC in a dyadic pediatric medical home. Methods The pre-COVID cohort was comprised of adolescent women seen for ICC from September 2018-October 2019. The COVID cohort was comprised of adolescent women seen for ICC from March 2020-March 2021. The two cohorts were compared across multiple characteristics including sociodemographic factors, age, education, number of visits, contraceptive choice and repeat pregnancy during the study interval. Results The COVID cohort were significantly more likely to be primiparous, seen with a younger infant, and attend fewer visits than the pre-COVID cohort. The COVID cohort were equally likely to initiate long-acting reversible contraception but less likely to experience a repeat pregnancy. Conclusions The COVID19 pandemic limited access to routine healthcare and likely impacted access to ICC for many women. ICC provided during WCVs allowed access to care even amid the restrictions of the COVID19 pandemic. Both effective contraception and decreased repeat pregnancy were maintained, highlighting the effectiveness of this approach for ICC within a dyadic pediatric medical home.
