Access to Obstetric Care in the United States from the National Health Interview Survey

Pages 141-147 | Published online: 09 Jan 2014
 

Abstract

This cross-sectional observational study uses data from the National Health Interview Survey from 1999 to 2006 to identify demographic factors associated with whether pregnant women have seen an OB/GYN within the last year. This analysis includes 2,748 women who were pregnant at the time of the interview. In total, 86.3% of women had seen an OB/GYN in the previous year. Women who are uninsured, have not completed high school, are Asian, or who live in the Midwest or Western regions may be at lower odds for receiving prenatal care. This study identifies vulnerable populations that may not be receiving adequate obstetric care.

This is an unfunded study in which the analysis, interpretations, and conclusions are the sole opinion of the author, not the National Center for Health Statistics, which was responsible for data collection.

aAdjusted model includes race, Hispanic or Spanish origin, insurance type, education level, and region of residence.
