The 2003 U.S. Standard Certificate of Live Birth, which was implemented in North Carolina during 2010, captures prenatal care and education data in a manner that differs from the prior certificate. Due to data compatibility issues that information is not be available for 2010. Therefore, prenatal care for these data from 1995–2010 should not be compared to 2011–2021 data.
