The analytic sample included 6,993 postpartum respondents. A composite high-risk pregnancy history index was created using self-reported and birth certificate variables including preterm birth, low birth weight, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, depression, and inadequate prenatal care.

Other findings of this study suggest that high efficacy postpartum contraception use is influenced by demographic, reproductive, and healthcare interaction factors beyond pregnancy risk status alone.
