Kortsmit K, et al. - In this cross-sectional analysis involving 5480 postpartum teenage mothers (aged 18 to 19 years), researchers compared condom use among sexually active postpartum teenagers using long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) vs those using non-LARC hormonal methods. Overall, 28.8% of these teenagers reported condom use. In general, self-reported use of condoms was low among postpartum teenage mothers and lower among LARC vs non-LARC hormonal methods users. Condom use was the lowest among users of intrauterine devices and the highest among users of pills compared to users of other hormonal methods of contraception. Given the high rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among adolescent mothers combined with the increased use of LARC among postpartum adolescent mothers, interventions to promote condom use for postpartum STI/HIV prevention are critically important.
