Trends in the United States cesarean section rate and reasons for the 1980-85 rise
The rate of cesarean section delivery in the United States rose from 4.5 per 100 deliveries in 1965 to 22.7 in 1985, and in 1985 an estimated 851,000 live births were cesarean deliveries, according to data from the National Hospital Discharge Survey. This increase has been observed for all ages, and within all regions of the country. The rate for teenagers and mothers aged 20 to 29 was five to six times as high in 1985 as in 1965, and four times …

Predicting Fertility: Demographic Studies of Birth Expectations
Complications in cesarean and non-cesarean deliveries: United States, 1980
Using 1980 National Hospital Discharge Survey data, complications reported for cesarean and non-cesarean deliveries coded by the Ninth Revision ICD-CM are compared. While over 16 per cent of all deliveries in 1980 were by C-section, 94 per cent of the deliveries where maternal-infant disproportion was noted were by C-section, and this complication was noted in one-fourth of all C-section deliveries. Similarly, where malposition or malpresentation…
Cesarean section delivery rates: United States, 1981
The rate of cesarean section delivery in the United States has risen from 4.5 per 100 deliveries in 1965 to 17.9 in 1981. The rate is highest in the Northeast, in hospitals of 500 beds or more, in proprietary hospitals, for Blue Cross as a source of payment, and for mothers aged 35 years and over. The rate is lowest in the North Central region, in hospitals with less than 100 beds, in government hospitals, for self-pay patients, and for mothers u…

Postpartum sterilization in cesarean section and non-cesarean section deliveries: United States, 1970-75
National Hospital Discharge Survey data indicate that the overall postpartum sterilization rate per 100 deliveries increased by 75 per cent from 4.0 in 1970 to 7.0 in 1975; by type of delivery, rates rose from 18.0 per 100 cesarean section deliveries and 3.2 for all other deliveries in 1970 to 19.0 and 5.6 respectively in 1975. The South had the highest postpartum sterilization rates overall. Deliveries to older mothers and cesarean section deliv…

The Impact of Directly Mailed Family Planning Materials to AFDC Welfare Mothers
Excerpt from the full-text article: Communications research has repeatedly documented the fact that people are affected by the various forms of mass media, and so family planning programs have begun to use television (Hutchinson, 1970), radio, movies, posters, telephones (Dabbs and Neiger, 1970), newspapers, and various combinations of these media (Clark and Morris, 1972; Chase, 1972; Balakrishnan, 1967; Takeshita, 1966; Cernada and Lu, 1972) in …
Direct Mail and Information Diffusion: Family Planning
The success of family planning programs partially depends upon informal diffusion within the target population. This study examines the effects of direct mailing on knowledge, opinion leadership, and diffusion. Information about local birth control clinics, the pill, the IUD, and other methods of birth control was sent to a random half of a total sample of 300 welfare mothers. Subsequent interviews showed that the direct mailing improved knowledg…
Public Welfare and Family Planning: An Empirical Study of the 'Brood Sow' Myth
The “Brood Sow” myth states that welfare mothers define welfare economic status favorably, are extremely active sexually, refrain from using contraceptives, want to become pregnant, and become pregnant. Data from a sample of 300 welfare mothers were analyzed to test the “Brood Sow” explanation of welfare fertility. No statistically significant differences were found between respondents pregnancy intervals when on welfare and when not on welfare i…
