| Title | Puerto Rican Maternal & Infant Health Survey, Public Release v1.0 |
| File Collection | 1 data file (SAS) + 10 documentation files (html) |
| Data Type | Survey Data |
| Date of Collection | August 1995 - September 1997 |
| Funding Agency | Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Maternal and Child Health Bureau and the Centers for Disease Control. |
| Data Format | SAS version 8 data table |
| Sampling | Independent live birth and infant death samples drawn from birth certificates and death certificates. Birth sample stratified by vital statistics reporting area, month, and infant birth weight (less than 2500 grams; 2500+ grams). Death sample was based on the full population of infant deaths. |
| Weights | The final birth sample weight is the product of three weighting factors: (1) the inverse of the probability of selection, (2) a nonresponse adjustment, and (3) a poststratification adjustment. Failure to weight the PRMIHS birth sample data will lead to biased population estimates because some births are overrepresented and others are underrepresented. Because the full population of infant deaths was drawn for the death sample, the final death sample weight is based on only one factor: a nonresponse adjustment. |
| Universe | Puerto Rican women who had a live birth or infant death in the study area (Puerto Rico, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York City, Pennsylvania) between July 1, 1994 and December 31, 1995. |
