This study reports the results of an Italian sampling survey carried out in 1999 on the evaluation of the support and the information activities offered to women who delivered, with specific regard to sexual resumption and postpartum contraception. 1986 women have been interviewed. The response rate was 95%. Sixty-three percent of the women reported they would use a contraceptive method at sexual resumption, but only 21 and 25% had the opportunity to receive adequate information on sexual resumption and family planning during post-delivery hospital stay.
