Two methods of estimating the target population for public maternity services programs.

S M Payne, D M Strobino

    American Journal of Public Health
    |February 1, 1984

    Summary

    Identifying the low-income population for public health programs is challenging. Educational attainment of women giving birth offers a feasible alternative to census data for estimating the low-income maternity population.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Health Services Research
    • Demography

    Background:

    • Accurate identification of low-income populations is crucial for effective public health program targeting.
    • Traditional reliance on census data for demographic estimation presents challenges in timeliness and appropriateness.
    • Existing methods for estimating the low-income maternity population require more efficient and current indicators.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility of using educational attainment of women giving birth as an indicator for the low-income population.
    • To compare the utility of vital statistics data versus census data for estimating the maternity services target population.
    • To identify a more appropriate and current method for defining the low-income maternity demographic.

    Main Methods:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Analysis of data from Mississippi and Maryland.
    • Comparison of educational attainment of women giving birth with census-based income data.
    • Assessment of vital statistics data as a proxy for census data in population estimation.

    Main Results:

    • Educational attainment of women giving birth was determined to be a feasible substitute for census data.
    • Vital statistics data demonstrated several advantages over census data for estimating the target maternity services population.
    • The study identified a practical alternative for current and appropriate low-income population estimation.

    Conclusions:

    • Educational attainment of women giving birth serves as a viable indicator for the low-income maternity population.
    • Vital statistics data offer significant benefits for estimating the target population for maternity services.
    • This approach enhances the accuracy and timeliness of public health program planning for low-income mothers.
