Navigating Social Networks, Resources, and Neighborhoods: Facilitators of Sexual and Reproductive Health Care Use among Women Released From Jail.

Our objective was to understand factors that support or undermine sexual and reproductive health care use among women released from jail. We conducted semistructured interviews with 28 women (ages 20-53) on average 6 months after their release from a city jail. Social support networks were the most common factor that supported women's sexual and reproductive health care use; having a medical home, reliable transportation, financial resources, and neighborhood dynamics were other factors mentioned by health care users. Community-based public health efforts should address the social context in which women on the margins of society perceive sexual health risk and use sexual and reproductive health care services.
