Percentage of women 1) who received or had documented use of most or moderately effective contraception during the postpartum period (primary measure) and 2) received a long-acting reversible contraceptive method during the postpartum period (sub-measure). To focus the measure on the population of women interested in contraceptive services, the denominator excludes those individuals who did not receive or have documented use of a method if they indicated they did not want these services.
