RESUMEN

This paper examines changes in maternal sociodemographic characteristics and pregnancy outcomes in Hawaii during the period 1979-1994. The more striking changes were increases of 129% in the proportion of births to women > 35 years old and of 67% in the proportion of births to unmarried mothers. The percentage of low birth weight and small-for-gestational age infants decreased while the proportion of premature births increased. Identified changes were not limited to selected population groups, but were found in various degrees in all ethnic groups. These findings are relevant to all health practitioners and will assist in the provision of appropriate care and counseling to individual women.

RESUMEN

This paper examines the utilization of prenatal care in Hawaii from 1979 to 1994 to determine if early and adequate utilization of prenatal care has changed during this period. Birth certificates of single live born infants of resident women were the source of data for the study. During the study period, the proportion of women receiving prenatal care in the first trimester increased by nearly 5 percent but was still below the national and state Year 2000 health objective of 90 percent. Notwithstanding this improvement, the percentage of women who did not receive the recommended number of visits in spite of starting care early significantly increased. The overall proportion of women with 'intensive' prenatal care use markedly increased (134.7%). The proportion of women with 'inadequate' care use declined (10.3%), although the proportion of women with 'no care' use doubled. Complete reporting of use of care through birth certificates markedly deteriorated. The findings of this study indicate the need for changes in the targeting and provision of counseling and education on the part of health care providers. Public health leaders, policy makers, health care providers, and advocacy groups need to collectively review programmatic directions with an aim toward the development of innovative approaches to address the emerging health needs of mothers and infants in the state.
