Contraceptive Provision to Postpartum Women With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: A Population ‐Based Cohort Study

CONCLUSIONNonbarrier contraceptives may be the most appropriate methods for some women with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Research also should investigate how these women perceive their participation in contraceptive decision making.
