Definition

The number and percent of births to women who received no prenatal care or care after the first trimester. Percentages are share of births that received no prenatal care or care after the first trimester within each racial/ethnic category. For example, what percentage of births were to Hispanic mothers who received late or no prenatal care? 

Data Source

Bureau of Vital Statistics, Texas Department of State Health Services.

Notes

"LNE" (Low Number Event) for numbers indicates between 1 and 9 births to women receiving inadequate prenatal care in at least one category in a county. Percentages are not available (NA) for counties with no births. "LNE" for percentages indicates there were fewer than 21 cases in the numerator. Due to the nature of very small numbers, calculated rates may be unreliable or misleading in such cases.

Percentages are "NA" for the year 2020 because data are not yet available to calculate percentages.
