Delaware Contraceptive Access Now was a statewide contraceptive access program implemented in Delaware between 2015 and 2020. We evaluated the association of the program with contraceptive initiation in Delaware's Medicaid program using a difference-in-differences design that compared changes in Delaware to changes in Maryland. Results suggest that program implementation was associated with increased initiation of long-acting reversible methods, particularly among adolescent patients aged 15 to 18 years. We found less-consistent evidence for changes to any contraceptive method. (. 2022;112(S5):S537-S540. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.306938).
特拉华州避孕途径现在是一个在 2015 年至 2020 年在特拉华州实施的全州范围内的避孕途径项目。我们使用差异中的差异设计评估了该项目与特拉华州医疗补助计划中避孕起始的关联,该设计将特拉华州的变化与马里兰州的变化进行了比较。结果表明,该项目的实施与长效可逆方法的起始增加有关,特别是在 15 至 18 岁的青少年患者中。我们发现,对于任何避孕方法的变化,证据都不太一致。(. 2022;112(S5):S537-S540。https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2022.306938)。
