Product Description:

We analyzed 2016-2019 national-level data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. Our sample included non-pregnant women ages 18-44 who had not had a hysterectomy. Data were available on 19 indicators of preconception health identified by the Core State Preconception Health Indicators Working Group. We compared the prevalence of each preconception health risk among women with physical, cognitive, sensory, or multiple disabilities to non-disabled women.
