Preconception Health Indicators Among Women Residing In Urban, Semi-rural And Rural Counties In Kentucky Sarojini Kanotra, MPH, PhD Seth Siameh, MPHc Amanda Wilburn, MPH 3rd National Summit on Preconception Health and Health Care June 12-14, 2011Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida
Objective • To assess the preconception health of women in Kentucky using the core state preconception health and health care indicators (PCHI) developed by the seven state work group • To create a preconception health profile of women in Kentucky
Methods • KY Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) 2000-2009 • Seventeen core state preconception health indicators (PCHI) were analyzed • Target population: non-pregnant female respondents aged 18-44 years (n=15,695) • Three subpopulations were created based on the Rural-Urban Continuum Codes provided by the US Department of Agriculture
Core State Preconception Health Indicators by Domain and Sub-Domain for Women Aged 18-44 Years
Core State Preconception Health Indicators by Domain and Sub-Domain for Women Aged 18-44 Years
Methods • The indicators from NVSS were analyzed from 2004 - 2009 • Also analyzed some indicators using PRAMS • KY does not have PRAMS but used information from pilot test for PRAMS conducted in 2009 • Sample size very small in the first pilot test hence used information from the second pilot test
Core State Preconception Health Indicators • Self-rated Health: Percentage of women who report good, very good or excellent health • Education: Percentage of women with a high school education/GED or greater • Poverty: Percentage of women who live at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Threshold • Access to and Utilization of Health Care: Percentage of women who currently have some type of health care coverage
Core State Preconception Health Indicators • Access to and Utilization of Health Care: Percentage of women who had a routine checkup in the past year • Reproductive Health Care: Percentage of women who had a pap test within the past three years • Smoking: Percentage of women who currently smoke everyday or some days • Alcohol Consumption: Percentage of women having a live birth who smoked cigarettes during the three months prior to pregnancy
Core State Preconception Health Indicators • Alcohol Consumption: Percentage of women who participated in binge drinking on at least one occasion in the past month • Fruit & Vegetable Consumption: Percentage of women who consume fruits and vegetables at least five times per day • Obesity and Overweight: Percentage of women who are overweight or obese based on body mass index (BMI) • Exercise/Physical Activity: Percentage of women who participate in enough moderate and/or vigorous physical activity in a usual week to meet the recommended levels of physical activity
Core State Preconception Health Indicators • General Mental Distress: Percentage of women who report that their mental health was not good for at least 14 out of the past 30 days • Adequacy of Support: Percentage of women who always or usually get the social and emotional support they need • Diabetes: Percentage of women who have ever been told by a health care provider that they had diabetes including gestational diabetes
Core State Preconception Health Indicators • Hypertension: Percentage of women who have ever been told by a health care provider that they had hypertension including hypertension during pregnancy • Asthma: Percentage of women who currently have asthma • Immunizations: Percentage of women who received an influenza vaccination within the past year
Percentage of women who currently have no health care coverage Data Source: KY BRFSS

Percentage of women who have ever been told by a health care provider that they had diabetes including gestational diabetes
Percentage of women who report that their mental health was not good for at least 14 out of the past 30 days

Prevalence of Core State Preconception Health Indicators from KY BRFSS, 2000-2009
Prevalence of Core State Preconception Health Indicators from KY BRFSS, 2000-2009
Core State Preconception Health Indicators – KY PRAMS • Percentage of women having a live birth who had health care coverage during the month prior to pregnancy • Percentage of women having a live birth who had their previous live birth more than three weeks before the due date • Percentage of women who experienced a miscarriage, fetal death or stillbirth in the 12 months prior to getting pregnant with their most recent live born infant • Percentage of women having a live birth who reported having an unintended or unwanted pregnancy • Percentage of women having a live birth who reported that they or their husbands or partners were currently doing something to keep from getting pregnant
Core State Preconception Health Indicators – KY PRAMS • Percentage of women having a live birth who experienced depressive symptoms after pregnancy • Percentage of women having a live birth who were physically abused by their partner during the 12 months prior to pregnancy • Percentage of women having a live birth who before their most recent pregnancy had ever been told be a health care provider that they had Type I or Type II diabetes • Percentage of women having a live birth who reported that they had hypertension during the 3 months before their most recent pregnancy
LIMITATIONS • The source of majority of this data is a national telephone survey so individuals with no landline telephones are excluded, selection bias. • All information is self-reported, recall bias • KY does not have PRAMS • Some questions in BRFSS are asked only in odd years
CONCLUSION • The data demonstrate that preconception health indicators for women residing in rural counties of Kentucky are poor as compared to those living in semi-rural and urban counties. • The results suggest that policies are needed to ensure that women, especially those living in rural counties in Kentucky have appropriate access to preconception health.
Importance of this Data to KY • Create Kentucky’s first preconception health profile • Direct the limited resources to the population in greatest need • Integrate the data from these indicators into use
NEXT STEPS • Review which years of data to use for the KY Report • Analyze data by sub-groups such as age, race, education, income etc. • Look for associations, if any • Research impact of policy on certain indicators • Develop the Kentucky Preconception Health Indicator Report
