摘要

The 1991 Longitudinal Followup (LF) to the 1988 National Maternal and InfantHealth Survey (NMIHS) provides population-based data on child health, pediatric care, and fertility. The sample for the NMIHS was drawn from vital records. 9,953 women who had a 1988 live birth, 3,309 women who had a 1988 fetal loss, and 5,332 women who had a 1988 infant death were interviewed. The LF has three components. The third component (the fetal and infant death survey) is a stratified random sample of 1,000 respondents each from the fetal and infant death cohorts. It includes information on subsequent fertility and long-term adjustment to loss.
