Disparities exist across socioeconomic status, but there is little information on SIPIs among women experiencing homelessness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Objective<\/jats:title>To investigate (1) differences in rates and characteristics of SIPIs between women experiencing homelessness and domiciled women, (2) whether the association of homelessness with SIPIs differs across races and ethnicities, and (3) whether the association between SIPIs of less than 6 months (very short interpregnancy interval [VSIPIs]) and maternal and neonatal outcomes differs between participant groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Design, Setting, and Participants<\/jats:title>This cohort study used a Colorado statewide database linking the Colorado All Payer Claims Database, Homeless Management Information System, death records, and infant birth records. Participants included all women who gave birth between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2021. Data were analyzed from September 1, 2022, to May 10, 2023.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Exposures<\/jats:title>Homelessness and race and ethnicity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>The primary outcome consisted of SIPI, a binary variable indicating whether the interval between delivery and conception of the subsequent pregnancy was shorter than 18 months. The association of VSIPI with maternal and neonatal outcomes was also tested.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>A total of 77\u202f494 women (mean [SD] age, 30.7 [5.3] years) were included in the analyses, of whom 636 (0.8%) were women experiencing homelessness. The mean (SD) age was 29.5 (5.4) years for women experiencing homelessness and 30.7 (5.3) years for domiciled women. In terms of race and ethnicity, 39.3% were Hispanic, 7.3% were non-Hispanic Black, and 48.4% were non-Hispanic White. Associations between homelessness and higher odds of SIPI (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.23 [95% CI, 1.04-1.46]) were found. Smaller associations between homelessness and SIPI were found among non-Hispanic Black (AOR, 0.59 [95% CI, 0.37-0.96]) and non-Hispanic White (AOR, 0.57 [95% CI, 0.39-0.84]) women compared with Hispanic women. A greater association of VSIPI with emergency department visits and low birth weight was found among women experiencing homelessness compared with domiciled women, although no significant differences were detected.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>In this cohort study of women who gave birth from 2016 to 2021, an association between homelessness and higher odds of SIPIs was found. These findings highlight the importance of conception management among women experiencing homelessness. Racial and ethnic disparities should be considered when designing interventions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2023.50242","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,4]],"date-time":"2024-01-04T16:31:59Z","timestamp":1704385919000},"page":"e2350242","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Short
