Disparities in receipt of recommended postpartum care

JAMA Network

About The Study: The findings of this cross-sectional survey of 138,000 patients who attended a postpartum visit suggest that inequities in postpartum care content were extensive and compounded for patients with multiple disadvantaged identities. Examining only one dimension of identity may understate the extent of disparities. Future studies should consider the content of postpartum care visits.
