Knowledge of Medicaid Expansion (“Healthier Oregon”) to Recent and Undocumented Immigrants Among Oregon Mexican-Origin Latinos
Introduction: We describe awareness of Medicaid expansion to undocumented and recent immigrants among Mexican-origin Latino/as in Oregon (called Healthier Oregon/ Oregón Mas Saludable ). Methods: Cross-sectional survey in collaboration with the Mexican Consulate. We describe awareness of the program, knowledge about eligibility, and experiences with enrollment. Results: Among 447 respondents, less than half (41.2%) were aware of the program. Conc…
Public hospital-based care for abortive events in Mexico
In Mexico, 92% of patients who seek care for all abortive events (induced, spontaneous, post-abortion) in SS hospitals have no complications. Marginalized patients are more likely to have a complication and to seek care at later pregnancy durations. Routinely conflating care-seeking and complications leads to overestimates of the risk of abortion
Safety Net Clinic Utilization for Sexual and Reproductive Health Services Among U.S.- and Foreign-Born Mexican-Origin Women
Safety net clinics such as Title X and other publicly funded health care organizations play an important role in access to preventive SRH care among Mexican-origin women living in the United States, especially for foreign-born women
Abortion Bans Do Not End Abortion, but Rather Delay and Complicate Necessary Health Care
Probabilistically Linkage of California’s Birth Certificate and Hospital Discharge Data
OBJECTIVE: To link California's birth certificate data with maternal and infant hospital discharge data to get a valuable database for epidemiological research. BACKGROUND: Secondary data sources are widely used for epidemiological research. Although California's birth certificate and patient discharge data (PDD) are readily available separately, the linked data are only available till 2012. We obtained birth certificate data from the California …
A global scoping review of the circumstances of care seeking for abortion later in pregnancy
Understanding the circumstances of abortions later in pregnancy provides insight about the barriers and delays to timely care. Limited synthesized information is available on these circumstances, especially from low and middle incomes countries. Reviewing what is reported in the literature about the circumstances of abortion later in pregnancy and the methodological approaches used to study this is needed to reveal evidence gaps. The purpose of t…
Awareness of the public charge, confidence in knowledge, and the use of public healthcare programs among Mexican-origin Oregon Latino/as
Our study reveals limited awareness about the public charge among Mexican-origin Oregon Latino/as. Outreach and advocacy are essential to ensure Latino/as know their rights to access available state-funded healthcare programs

Realizamos 14 entrevistas semiestructuradas con acompañantes en tres regiones mexicanas: Baja California y Chiapas, ambos contextos restrictivos, y la C…
US “Safety Net” Clinics Provide Access to Effective Contraception for Adolescents and Young Women, 2017–2019
Objectives. To describe patterns of providing moderately effective versus the most effective contraception and of providing implants versus intrauterine devices in US community health centers. Methods. We conducted a historical cohort study (2017–2019). Outcomes were woman-level receipt of most effective contraception (long-acting reversible contraception; implants and intrauterine devices) or moderately effective contraception. We used logistic …
Locating Autonomous Abortion Accompanied by Feminist Activists in the Spectrum of Self‐Managed Medication Abortion
Diverse models of self‐managed medication abortion exist—ranging from some interaction with medical personnel to completely autonomous abortion. In this commentary, we propose a new classification of self‐managed medication abortion and describe the different modalities. We highlight autonomous abortion accompanied by feminist activists, called “acompañantes,” as a community‐ and rights‐based strategy that can be a safe alternative to clinical ab…
Factors Associated with Support for Adolescent Access to Contraception Among Mexican Catholic Parents
We used a nationally representative survey of 2186 Mexican Catholic parents to assess two outcomes: support for adolescent access to modern contraception and whether adolescents unaccompanied by an adult should have access to contraceptive methods. A majority (85%) of Mexican Catholic parents support adolescent access to modern contraceptive methods, but there was less support (28%) for access to contraception unaccompanied. Further, our results …
Women’s Access to Abortion Care Under Oregon's Reproductive Health Equity Act

Expanded Access to Postabortion Contraception under Oregon's Reproductive Health Equity Act
Contraceptive Receipt Among First-Trimester Abortion Clients and Postpartum Women in Urban Mexico
CONTEXT: In Mexico, first-trimester abortion is legal in Mexico City and is available in the public and private sectors. Understanding subsequent contraceptive uptake and method mix among first-trimester abortion clients relative to that of women who deliver a live birth at a health facility could help identify where improvements in care following an obstetric event can be made across the health system. METHODS: This article uses a retrospective …

Impacts of the Affordable Care Act on Receipt of Women's Preventive Services in Community Health Centers in Medicaid Expansion and Nonexpansion States
Among female patients at community health centers, receipt of recommended preventive care improved after ACA implementation in both Medicaid expansion and nonexpansion states, although the overall rates remained low. Continued support is needed to overcome barriers to preventive care in this population
Pregnancy Intendedness by Maternal Disability Status and Type in the United States
Further research is needed to understand differences in unintended pregnancy by type and extent of disability. People with disabilities should be fully included in sex education, and their routine care should incorporate discussion of reproductive planning
What Are the Consequences of Using Restrictions to Decrease Abortions
An editorial is provided in which the authors discuss the public health implications of U.S. states' laws restricting abortions. An overview of state laws enacting gestational limits to decrease abortions, including its impact on maternal mortality, is provided
Payment for Contraceptive Services in Safety Net Clinics
OBJECTIVES: We describe payor for contraceptive visits 2013-2014, before and after Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), in a large network of safety-net clinics. We estimate changes in the proportion of uninsured contraceptive visits and the independent associations of the ACA, Title X, and state family planning programs. METHODS: Our sample included 237 safety net clinics in 11 states with a common electronic health record. We…
Group prenatal care
Group prenatal care is an alternative model of care during pregnancy, replacing standard individual prenatal care. The model has shown maternal benefits and has been implemented in different contexts. We conducted a narrative review of the literature in relation to its effectiveness, using databases such as PubMed, EBSCO, Science Direct, Wiley Online and Springer for the period 2002 to 2018. In addition, we discussed the challenges and solutions …
Emergency Contraception in Mexico
Primary Cesarean Delivery Patterns among Women with Physical, Sensory, or Intellectual Disabilities
Early Elective Delivery Disparities between Non-Hispanic Black and White Women after Statewide Policy Implementation
Adolescents and Long-Acting Reversible Contraception
Objectives We describe current use of long acting reversible contraception LARC (tier 1), hormonal (tier 2), barrier and traditional contraceptive methods (tier 3) by adolescent women in Mexico. We test whether knowledge of contraceptive methods is associated with current use of LARC. Methods We used the 1992, 1997, 2006, 2009 and 2014 waves of a nationally representative survey (ENADID). We used information from n = 10,376 (N = 3,635,558) adoles…
Using systematized tacit knowledge to prioritize implementation challenges in existing maternal health programs
Strategic priority setting and implementation of strategies to reduce maternal mortality are key to the post Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 2015 agenda. This article highlights the feasibility and the advantages of using a systematized tacit knowledge approach, using data from maternal health program personnel, to identify local challenges to implementing policies and programs to inform the post MDG era. Communities of practice, conceived as g…

Timeliness, frequency and content of antenatal care
This article examines the role of components of adequate antenatal care (ANC) in disparities in birth weight between indigenous and non-indigenous women in Mexico. We estimate the potential for added weight gain among indigenous infants if their mothers received timely, frequent ( ≥4 visits) and complete ANC (≥75% of recommended processes of care). We used population-based survey data (2012;N= 6612 women 12-49). We applied quantile regression to …
The Oportunidades Conditional Cash Transfer Program
CONTEXT: Oportunidades is a large conditional cash transfer program in Mexico. It is important to examine whether the program has any direct effect on pregnancy experience and contraceptive use among young rural women, apart from those through education. METHODS: Data from the 1992, 2006 and 2009 waves of a nationally representative, population-based survey were used to describe trends in pregnancy experience, contraceptive use and education amon…
