Prenatal Care: A Study of Military Women Within and Outside the United States.

PB2003102381

Publication Date	1996
Personal Author	Schmelz, J. O.
Page Count	58
Abstract	Poor neonatal outcomes create significant economic and readiness burdens for military health care systems. Early and comprehensive prenatal health care has been supported in studies in the civilian population as the most effective intervention in the prevention of infant mortality, low birth weight, and problematic development. However, limited research on prenatal care has been conducted on CONUS or OCONUS military women. Therefore, the purposes of this study were to: (1) determine the needs, availability, accessibility, use, and satisfaction with prenatal care services received by active duty and beneficiary military women inside the United States (CONUS) and outside the United States (OCONUS), (2) determine the birth outcomes of CONUS and OCONUS military women, (3) determine if military women's reported needs, availability, accessibility, use and satisfaction with prenatal care services and birth outcomes were significantly different for CONUS versus OCONUS military women.
