Examining the impact of Medicaid payments for immediate postpartum long-acting reversible contraception on the mental health of low-income mothers.
Article in Health services research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo examine the effect of Medicaid immediate postpartum long-acting reversible contraception (IPP LARC) reforms on self-reported mental health among low-income mothers aged 18-44 years. DATA SOURCES AND STUDY
settingWe used national secondary data on self-reported mental health status in the past 30 days from the core component (2014-2019) of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). STUDY
designWe estimated linear probability models for reporting any days of not good mental health in the past 30 days. We adjusted for individual-level factors, state-level factors, and state and year fixed effects. Our primary independent variable was an indicator for IPP LARC payment reform. We examined the effect of the Medicaid payment reforms on self-reported mental health status in the past 30 days using difference-in-differences and event-study designs. DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION
methodsNot applicable. PRINCIPAL
findingsState adoption of Medicaid IPP LARC reforms was associated with significant reductions (between 5.7% and 11.5%) in the predicted probability of reporting any days of not good mental health among low-income mothers. Treatment effects appeared to be driven by respondents reporting two or more children (less than 18 years of age) in the household (ATT = -0.028, p = 0.04). Results are robust to a series of sensitivity tests and alternative estimation strategies.
conclusionsOur findings suggest that contemporary efforts to improve access to contraceptive methods may have important benefits beyond reproductive autonomy. These findings have implications for policymakers as the landscape related to family planning services continues to shift.
