Data from the
Pregnancy Nutrition
Surveillance System
Go directly to the data reports
The
Pregnancy Nutrition Surveillance System (PNSS) is a program-based
surveillance system that monitors the nutritional status of low-income
women in federally-funded maternal and child health programs.
Wisconsin
has submitted data from the WIC Program to
the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) for analysis and inclusion in PNSS since
1995. This surveillance
data can be used for program planning, management and evaluation; for the
development of health and nutrition interventions; and to monitor progress
toward state and local health plans.
The CDC website (exit
DHS)
provides information on PNSS and
explains how to interpret the data.
PNSS
Health Indicators
In
Wisconsin, data collected on behavioral risk factors
and infant birth outcomes are collected on women who participate in the
WIC Program. PNSS indicators are collected during prenatal and postpartum
clinic visits to monitor the prevalence of nutritional and behavioral risk
factors related to infant mortality and poor birth outcomes.
The
indicators collected are:
-
pre-pregnancy
BMI;
-
maternal
weight gain;
-
anemia;
-
parity;
-
interpregnancy
interval;
-
medical
care;
-
WIC
enrollment;
-
smoking;
-
smoking
changes;
-
smoking
in the household;
-
drinking;
-
birth
weight;
-
pre-term
birth;
-
full-term
low birth weight; and
-
breastfeeding
initiation.
The
CDC
website (exit DHS)
defines the indicators and provides the rationale
for collecting the information.
