3028.0 Maternal and Infant Health Epidemiology

Monday, November 9, 2009: 8:30 AM
Oral
This interesting session will focus on the epidemiology of maternal and infant health. Presentations will include a discussion of the predictive value of socio-demographic, medical and obstetric history as risk factors for postpartum hemorrhage, identification of postpartum depression screening, the relationship between smoking and stressful live events during pregnancy, and the role of social deprivation in the risk of very preterm birth. One session will focus on procedures for perinatal health data collection in state health departments.
Session Objectives: 1. Describe the association between smoking and stressful life events during pregnancy among women in Maryland. 2. Describe a method for using census data to assess socio-spatial inequalities in risk of very preterm birth when data on social status are not available in medical records. 3. Compare efforts made by state departments of health towards enriching existing perinatal data.
Moderator:
Lauren Zapata, PhD, MSPH
