Definition
Number of births in which the mother received no prenatal care, or the prenatal care started in the 3rd trimester, or the woman had an inadequate range of visits regardless of when prenatal care began, divided by the total number of births. Births are assigned to the county in which the mother resides, even if the birth occurs in a different county.

Notes
Adequacy is determined using the Adequacy of Prenatal Care Utilization (APNCU) Index and is not comparable to GINDEX Index used in previous years. See glossary for definitions of Intensive, Adequate, Intermediate, and Inadequate Prenatal Care.
