Description:"The Pregnancy Nutrition Surveillance System (PNSS) is a public health surveillance system that monitors the prevalence of nutrition problems, behavioral risk factors, and birth outcomes among low-income women who are enrolled in public health programs in states or U.S. territories or through Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs). The goal of the PNSS is to collect, analyze, and disseminate surveillance data to guide public health policy and action. The collected data are used to set public health priorities and to plan, implement, and evaluate nutrition programs for pregnant women. This report summarizes PNSS data from 2007 and highlights data trends from 1998 through 2007. The PNSS collects demographic data about maternal age, race and ethnicity, education level, household income, migrant status, and participation in food and medical assistance programs. Information about a mother's height; weight before, during, and after pregnancy; hemoglobin and hematocrit levels; parity; medical care during pregnancy; and enrollment in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) is collected." - p. 1
