Data systems and data linkage for understanding perinatal and child health
A variety of public administrative data systems are commonly used to describe issues and problems within the MCH community. Yet, few examples exist of linking data systems across areas such as perinatal data sources with child health data. In this session, several examples of data linkage and triangulation of qualitative and quantitative data will be presented. Four of the five abstracts are from the state of Arizona and, therefore, further demonstrate a wide variety of issues within a single geographic setting. Issues include, neonatal intensive care, child well-being, and welfare reform among others.
Learning Objectives: To describe the use of multiple linked data sources that can be used to study a variety of MCH perinatal and child health issues. To gain an in-depth understanding of perinatal and child health issues within the state of Arizona.
See individual abstracts for presenting author's disclosure statement and author's information.
