IMPLICIT Interconception Care (ICC) screens mothers/birthing people (MBPs) for four risk factors, including family planning, at their child’s Well Child Visits from 0-24 months. ICC initiates conversations about family planning, connects MBPs to care to discuss options, and/or even provides birth control at that visit.

IMPLICIT 4th Trimester (4TM) promotes patient centered contraception counseling across the prenatal and postpartum time periods. Providers review options and make a plan with the MBP to choose a contraception method that aligns with the MBP’s values and preferences.

Identifying family planning needs, providing interventions, and connecting families to care promotes not only healthier future pregnancies (if desired), but also a healthier mother/birthing person, child, and family.
