DISCUSSION
Data Quality
• Some items appear well-reported: WIC Chlamydia
• Some items are likely underreported Infertility treatment Maternal morbidities Smoking prior to pregnancy
• Differentials by age, race, and Hispanic origin compare well with other sources
Source of payment BMI: Overweight
Gonorrhea BMI: Obese Infant breastfed
Data Quality
• Birth certificate vs. other data sources Can be difficult to compare
o 28-state reporting area vs. nationally representative samples
– Birth certificate reporting area not nationally representative– Many states with higher rates are unrevised (e.g.
infections)o Somewhat different populations
– e.g. All births vs. Survey respondents o Somewhat different questions
– e.g. Ever breastfed vs. during specific period (between birth and hospital discharge)
o Different data years
Data Quality
• Birth clerk interviews Infertility treatment: availability of information Infant breastfed: confusion on exclusivity and duration
• Good agreement with medical record Interval since last live birth Source of payment Infant breastfed
Stay tuned
• Steps to improve data quality
• Larger revised reporting area: national data by 2014
• Reports/data releases: Births: Expanded data for 2009 (with new/new items) Re-release the 2009 final birth file (with new/new items) Report on quality of revised medical/health data for
medical record review 2010 Final file: Will re-release file with new/new items
later this year
• Data worth waiting for?
•Yes!
