Abstract
We surveyed women with a recent live birth who resided in 16 US states and 1 city during the 2016 Zika outbreak. We found high awareness about the risk of Zika virus infection during pregnancy and about advisories to avoid travel to affected areas but moderate levels of discussions with healthcare providers.
Highlights
We surveyed women with a recent live birth who resided in 16 US states and 1 city during the 2016 Zika outbreak
Focusing on the subgroup of women who had heard about Zika virus infection (ZIKV) during their pregnancy, we found that more than half (58.8%) reported talking to a healthcare provider about ZIKV
Compared with non-Hispanic white women, non-Hispanic black women were more likely to have talked with a healthcare provider about ZIKV, as were women who gave birth during September 2016–February 2017 compared with those who gave birth in earlier months
Summary
We used multivariable logistic regression to assess the relationships between maternal demographics and each outcome using adjusted prevalence ratios (aPRs) and 95% CIs. We completed our analyses using SAS version 9.4 Sas.com) and SAS-callable SUDAAN 11.0 (https:// www.rti.org) software to account for PRAMS complex survey design. Most women were [25–34] years of age (59.7%), were non-Hispanic white (56.9%), had more than a high school education (65.1%), were married (61.3%), and reported private insurance as a source of payment for delivery (55.8%) (data not shown). 8.8% of women had never heard of ZIKV during their recent pregnancy. These women were more likely to be
