From Poverty to Prosperity: A National Strategy to Cut Poverty in Half
Given that 37 million Americans fall below the poverty line, the Center for American Progress released a 12-point plan to cut poverty in half over the next ten years.  Step four on the list is to “Guarantee child care assistance to low-income families and promote early education for all.”  They propose that state and federal governments guarantee child care subsidies to families who earn below $40,000 and expand the child care tax credit to make it refundable.  It also recommends that states should improve the quality of early education and increase access for all children.  Click here to learn more and read the report: http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2007/04/poverty_report.html

Married Mothers in the Labor Force
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) issued a report on the number of mothers of infants who participate in the labor force.  The data show that 53.5 percent of married mothers who are 16 years and older with infants participate in the work force.  The report further breaks down trends in labor participation by demographic characteristics such as age, race/ethnicity, educational attainment and country of origin.  For example, only 28.2 percent of mothers of infants who have less than a high school diploma participate in the labor force, yet 62.9 percent of mothers with infants who have a Bachelor’s degree or higher are in the labor force.

Breastfeeding Trends and Updated National Health Objectives for Exclusive Breastfeeding - United States, Birth Years 2000—2004
To monitor progress toward achieving HP2010 breastfeeding objectives, CDC analyzed data from the National Immunization Survey. This report describes the results of that analysis, which indicated that rates for breastfeeding initiation and duration increased among infants born during 2000-2004. Rates for exclusive breastfeeding through ages 3 months and 6 months among infants born in 2004 were 30.5% and 11.3%, respectively, below targets set by HP2010. Rates of exclusive breastfeeding were significantly lower among black infants (compared with white infants) and infants born to unmarried mothers (compared with married mothers). Additionally, older age, urban residence, higher education, and higher income of mothers all were positively associated with exclusive breastfeeding. Further research is needed to identify successful programs and policies to support exclusive breastfeeding, especially among subgroups with the lowest rates.

Deaths: Final Data for 2004
This report presents final 2004 data on U.S. deaths; death rates; life expectancy; infant and maternal mortality; and trends by selected characteristics such as age, sex, Hispanic origin, race, marital status, educational attainment, injury at work, state of residence, and cause of death. In 2004, life expectancy for females was 80.4 years, a 0.4-year increase from 2003, and life expectancy for males was 75.2 years, a 0.5-year increase from the previous year. The increase in life expectancy for females could have been greater were it not for the offsetting effect of increases in mortality from accidents, suicide, and Alzheimer’s disease. The 15 leading causes of death in 2004 accounted for 82.7 percent of all deaths in the United States. In 2004, a total of 540 women were reported to have died of maternal causes, an increase of 45 deaths from the 2003 total. The maternal mortality rate for 2004 was 13.1 deaths per 100,000 live births. Black women have a substantially higher risk of maternal death than white women. The maternal mortality rate for black women was 34.7 deaths per 100,000 live births, roughly 3.7 times the rate of 9.3 for white women. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr55/nvsr55_19.pdf

Updated Fact Sheet: HIV/AIDS Among Hispanics/Latinos
The HIV/AIDS epidemic is a serious threat to the Hispanic/Latino community. In addition to being a population seriously affected by HIV, Hispanics/Latinos continue to face challenges in accessing health care, prevention services, and HIV treatment. In 2004, HIV/AIDS was the fourth leading cause of death among Hispanic/Latino men and women aged 35 to 44.

QuickStats: Percentage of Adults Aged >18 Years Who Reported Ever Being Tested for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV),* by Sex and Race/Ethnicity - National Health Interview Survey, United States, 2006
Among both men and women, non-Hispanic blacks (51.6% of men and 53.5% of women) were more likely to report ever being tested for HIV than Hispanics (35.7% of men and 46.1% of women) and non-Hispanic whites (30.5% of men and 33.5% of women). Overall, women (37.8%) were more likely than men (33.7%) to report ever being tested for HIV.

QuickStats: Prevalence of HPV* Infection Among Sexually Active Females Aged 14-59 Years, by Age Group - National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, United States, 2003—2004
Among sexually active females (i.e., 57% of females aged 14-19 years and 97% of those aged 20-59 years), the prevalence of HPV infection was highest for those in the youngest age groups (i.e., approximately 40% in those aged 14-19 years and 50% in those aged 20-24 years). Prevalence declined substantially after age 24 years.

Medications: Information for Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women
As additional research is published, it is increasingly important that women talk with their doctor about the risks and benefits of taking prescription and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and dietary or herbal supplements before getting pregnant, during pregnancy, and while breastfeeding. A survey in the U.S. in 1998–99 found that 46% of women in their childbearing years took a prescription medicine during the previous week. So, it is important that we know more about which medications may be harmful during pregnancy and breastfeeding and which are not.

Perinatal Group B Streptococcal Disease After Universal Screening Recommendations - United States, 2003—2005
This report indicates that annual incidence of early onset Group B streptococcus (GBS) disease (i.e., in infants aged 0-6 days) was 33% lower during 2003-2005 than during 2000-2001. However, although incidence among white infants decreased steadily during 2003-2005, incidence increased 70% among black infants. Incidence of GBS disease among infants aged 7-89 days (i.e., late-onset disease) and pregnant women remained stable after revised universal screening guidelines were issued. Continued surveillance is needed to monitor the impact of the guidelines on perinatal GBS disease and trends in racial disparities and to guide interventions to reduce disparities.

Notice to Readers: Publication of Revised HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report, 2005
Each year CDC publishes an HIV/AIDS surveillance report. On June 28, 2007, CDC published online a revised 2005 report to correct an error in the calculation of the number of estimated AIDS cases for the period 2001-2005; this error resulted in an overestimate of 2% for the period 2001-2005 and 8.3% for the year 2005. These data were published online initially in November 2006 in CDC's HIV/AIDS Surveillance Report, 2005. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5625a4.htm

Smoking-Cessation Advice from Health-Care Providers - Canada, 2005
In 2005, the Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey (CTUMS) included questions to assess self-reported provision of cessation advice by health-care providers. This report summarizes the results of that survey, which indicate that only half of persons who visited health-care providers in the preceding 12 months received smoking-cessation advice, suggesting that health-care providers need to take greater advantage of opportunities to provide such advice to smokers. According to the 2005 CTUMS, approximately 5 million residents in Canada (weighted data)representing 19% of the population aged >15 years, were current smokers, of whom 88% reported visiting one or more of the specified health-care providers (physician, dentist or dental hygienist, and pharmacist) in the 12 months before the survey. A greater proportion of female smokers (94%) visited a health-care provider in the preceding 12 months than male smokers (83%). Among female smokers, the highest rate of visiting a health-care provider was among respondents aged 25-34 years (97%), and the lowest was among those aged 15-19 years (91%).

National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey: 2005 Emergency Department Summary
This report presents the most current (2005) nationally representative data on visits to hospital emergency departments (ED) in the United States. During 2005, an estimated 115.3 million visits were made to hospital EDs, about 39.6 visits per 100 persons. Abdominal pain, chest pain, fever, and cough were the leading patient complaints, accounting for nearly one-fifth of all visits. Abdominal pain was the leading illness-related diagnosis at ED visits. There were an estimated 41.9 million injury-related visits or 14.4 visits per 100 persons.  http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/ad/ad386.pdf

National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey: 2005 Outpatient Department Summary
This report describes ambulatory care visits to hospital outpatient departments (OPDs) in the United States. Statistics are presented on selected hospital, patient, and visit characteristics. During 2005, an estimated 90.4 million visits were made to hospital OPDs in the United States, about 31.0 visits per 100 persons. Females (37.2 per 100 persons) had higher OPD visit rates than males (24.7 visits per 100 persons), and black or African-American persons (56.8 visits per 100 persons) had higher OPD visit rates than white persons (28.3 visits per 100 persons). The female visit rate was higher than the rate for males overall, driven primarily by differences in the 15–44 year old age groups. The female visit rate (8.7 visits per 100 females) for preventive care was more than twice that for males (3.5 per 100 males).  Although normal pregnancy leads the list among all adolescents 13–21 and adults 22–49 years, the leading diagnoses for males in these age groups were acute upper respiratory infections (13–21 years of age) and spinal disorders (22–49 years of age). The majority of pregnancy visits to OPD clinics were made by women in their third trimester (48.2 percent).  http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/ad/ad389.pdf

Chlamydia Prevalence Monitoring Project Annual Report
In 2005, 976,445 chlamydial infections were reported to CDC from 50 states and the District of Columbia. The reported number of cases of chlamydial infection was nearly three times greater than the reported cases of gonorrhea. From 1986 through 2005, the reported rate of chlamydial infection in women increased from 50.7 cases to 496.5 cases per 100,000 population. The report consists of four parts. The National Profile contains text and figures that provide an overview of chlamydia surveillance in sexually active women and men in the United States. The Regional Profiles contain chlamydia trend data in women in all ten Health and Human Services regions. The State Profiles provide statistical information about chlamydia in women in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. The City Profiles provide statistical information about chlamydia in women for selected cities, including Washington, D.C.  http://www.cdc.gov/std/Chlamydia2005/default.htm

HIV/AIDS Diagnoses Among Blacks - Florida, 1999-2004
This report describes trends in diagnoses of HIV/AIDS cases that occurred among blacks during 1999-2004 and were reported to the Florida Department of Health. These data indicate that, during 1999-2004, the annual rate of HIV/AIDS diagnosis among blacks decreased more than the rates among other racial/ethnic groups. To examine possible explanations for this decline, HIV/AIDS diagnosis rate trends were compared with trends in gonorrhea diagnosis and publicly funded HIV testing in Florida. The results indicated that gonorrhea diagnosis rates also decreased among blacks in Florida during 1999-2004, whereas the number of HIV tests increased. These findings suggest that HIV/AIDS diagnoses in blacks might be associated with a reduction in high-risk sexual behavior and that the decline was not the result of less testing. During 1999-2004, the rate decreased among black, Hispanic, and white females and among black males. The annual percentage decrease in the rate was greater among black women than white women and Hispanic women.

QuickStats: Percentage of Total Births That Were Preterm,* by Gestational Age - United States, 1990 and 2005
The proportion of total births that were preterm increased from 9.7% in 1990 to 11.0% in 2005. Most of the increase was among births occurring at 34-36 weeks (i.e., late preterm), which increased from 6.8% to 8.1%.  http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5602a7.htm

QuickStats: Birth Rates* Among Females Aged 15-19 Years, by State - United States, 2004
Age of mother is a predictor of maternal and infant health risk. Pregnant teens aged 15-19 years are less likely to receive timely prenatal care and gain appropriate weight and more likely to smoke during pregnancy than pregnant women aged >20 years.  http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5551a6.htm?s_cid=mm5551a6_e

States Make Progress in Cervical Cancer Prevention According to New Report      
A new report shows that states are making significant progress in the fight against cervical cancer, but still face dramatic racial disparities in cervical cancer incidence, mortality and screening rates, and a lack of access to care for low income women. These shortfalls point to healthcare gaps that may prevent all women from benefiting from breakthrough new screening and prevention technologies. The findings are from “Partnering for Progress 2007: the ‘State’ of Cervical Cancer Prevention in America,” the third annual state by state comparison report released by Women In Government.

Obesity Surgeries Have Jumped Dramatically Since 1998
Obesity surgeries for patients between the ages of 55 and 64 in the United States soared from 772 procedures in 1998 to 15,086 surgeries in 2004—a nearly 2,000 percent increase, according to a new report by HHS' Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The report, the latest of several studies that AHRQ has done on obesity surgery, also found a 726 percent increase in surgeries among patients age 18 to 54. There were a total of 121,055 surgeries performed on patients of all ages in 2004. Women have bariatric surgery more often than men. They accounted for more than 99,000 operations, or 82 percent of the total. The in-hospital death rate for men in 2004 was only 0.4 percent, but it was 2.8 times higher than that of women. In 1998, the in-hospital death rate for men was six times higher than that of women. [Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality]

Overweight Girls at Risk for Cardiovascular Disease 
New results from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Growth and Health Study suggest that girls as young as age 9 who are overweight are at increased risk for short-term and long-term problems that increase the chances of developing cardiovascular disease. More than 2,300 girls ages 9 and 10 were enrolled in the study and followed for more than 10 years. Researchers measured participants' height, weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol annually through age 18, and obtained self-reported measures at ages 21 to 23.

Characteristics of Adults with Serious Psychological Distress as Measured by the K6 Scale: United States, 2001–04
The prevalence of serious psychological distress (SPD) was higher among adults 45–64 years old than younger adults 18–44 years or older adults 65 years and over. Adults with SPD were more likely to be female, have less than a high school diploma, and live in poverty, and less likely to be married than adults without SPD. Moreover, those with SPD were more likely to be obese and to be current smokers.

HIV/AIDS among Women
Early in the epidemic, HIV infection and AIDS were diagnosed for relatively few women and female adolescents (although we know now that many women were infected with HIV through injection drug use but that their infections were not diagnosed). Today, women account for more than one quarter of all new HIV/AIDS diagnoses. Women of color are especially affected by HIV infection and AIDS.

 HIV/AIDS among American Indians and Alaska Natives
HIV/AIDS is a growing problem among American Indians and Alaska Natives. Even though the numbers of HIV and AIDS diagnoses for American Indians and Alaska Natives represent less than 1% of the total number of HIV/AIDS cases reported to CDC’s HIV/AIDS Reporting System, when population size is taken into account, American Indians and Alaska Natives in 2005 ranked 3rd in rates of HIV/AIDS diagnosis, after African Americans and Hispanics]. American Indians and Alaska Natives make up 1.5% (4.1 million people) of the total US population. The rate of AIDS diagnosis for this group has been higher than that for whites since 1995.

Increases in Gonorrhea - Eight Western States, 2000-2005
This report describes the epidemiology of gonorrhea in eight western states that reported large increases in gonorrhea incidence rates from 2000 to 2005. The results indicated that both sexes and all specified age and racial/ethnic groups experienced increases in gonorrhea rates. Causes for these increases remain unclear; however, data suggest they likely resulted from a combination of increases in the number of tests performed, trends in the types of test performed, and actual increases in disease occurrence. The gonorrhea rate among females increased 58.5%, from 52.3 per 100,000 in 2000 to 82.9 in 2005.

Office-based Medical Practices: Methods and Estimates from the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey
During 2003–04, an average of 311,200 office-based physicians practiced in an estimated 161,200 medical practices in the United States. Medical practice characteristics differed from physician characteristics. Although 35.8 percent of office-based physicians were in solo practice, 69.2 percent of medical practices consisted of solo practitioners. The one-fifth of medical practices with three or more physicians (19.5 percent) contains about one-half of all office-based physicians (52.4 percent). About 8.4 percent of medical practices involved multiple specialties. Among the 69.2 percent of medical practices involving solo physicians, the most frequent specialties were general and family practice, internal medicine, and obstetrics and gynecology. Among the 22.4 percent of practices organized as single-specialty group practices, the top three specialties were general and family practice (17.0 percent), internal medicine (13.9 percent), and pediatrics (12.3 percent).

Racial/Ethnic Disparities in Diagnoses of HIV/AIDS, 33 States, 2001-2005
Of the estimated 184,991 adult and adolescent HIV infections diagnosed during 2001-2005, more (51%) occurred among blacks than among all other racial/ethnic populations combined. Most (62%) new HIV/AIDS diagnoses were among persons aged 25-44 years; in this age group, blacks accounted for 48% of new HIV/AIDS diagnoses. New interventions and mobilization of the broader community are needed to reduce the disproportionate impact of HIV/AIDS on blacks in the United States. Among females, blacks accounted for the majority of HIV/AIDS diagnoses in the South (71.5%), Northeast (64.4%), and Midwest (63.5%), compared with other racial/ethnic populations.

Bureau of Justice Statistics released a brief on intimate partner violence in the United States. The page includes information on victim and offender characteristics, circumstances, injury and treatment, victim assistance and reporting to the police. According to the press release, he intimate partner violence rate has declined since 1993. In 1993 nonfatal intimate partner violence was 5.8 victimizations per 1,000 U.S. residents 12 years old and older. By 2004 this rate had fallen to 2.6 victimizations per 1,000 individuals.

Use of Cessation Methods Among Smokers Aged 16--24 Years - United States, 2003
To track the history of quitting behavior among smokers aged 16-24 years, Roswell Park Cancer Institute (Buffalo, New York) initiated the 2-year longitudinal National Youth Smoking Cessation Survey in 2003. This report summarizes key findings from the survey regarding lifetime use of smoking-cessation methods. The findings indicated that smokers aged 16-24 years who had tried to quit were more likely to use unassisted quitting methods than assisted quitting methods; none of the unassisted methods are recommended by the Public Health Service clinical guidelines for treatment of tobacco use and dependence, whereas most of the assisted methods are recommended for adults and have been determined to be effective.

The Costs of an Outreach Intervention for Low-Income Women With Abnormal Pap Smears
In a health care system in which many women fail to get follow-up care for an abnormal Pap smear, outreach workers were more effective than usual care (mail or telephone reminders) at increasing follow-up rates. The results suggest that outreach workers should manage their effort based on the degree of abnormality; most effort should be placed on women with the most severe abnormality (high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion).

A Comprehensive Immunization Strategy to Eliminate Transmission of Hepatitis B Virus Infection in the United States
This report, the second of a two-part statement from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), provides updated recommendations to increase hepatitis B vaccination of adults at risk for HBV infection. In settings in which a high proportion of adults have risks for HBV infection, ACIP recommends universal hepatitis B vaccination for all unvaccinated adults. In other primary care and specialty medical settings in which adults at risk for HBV infection receive care, health-care providers should inform all patients about the health benefits of vaccination, including risks for HBV infection and persons for whom vaccination is recommended, and vaccinate adults who report risks for HBV infection and any adults requesting protection from HBV infection.

Medication Therapy in Ambulatory Medical Care: United States, 2003–04
An estimated 1.9 billion drugs per year were provided, prescribed, or continued at ambulatory care visits in the United States during 2003 and 2004. Two-thirds of the 1.1 billion ambulatory care visits per year included medication therapy. Of the 50 drugs most frequently reported overall, three-quarters of them were accounted for by six therapeutic classes—pain relievers, cardiovascular-renal agents, respiratory tract drugs, central nervous system drugs (antianxiety agents and antidepressants), hormonal agents, and antimicrobials. Ibuprofen, aspirin, atorvastatin calcium, acetaminophen, and albuterol were the five most frequently reported medications. Drug mention rates (i.e., the number of drug mentions per 100 visits) for males and females were not significantly different, with one exception. The drug mention rate was higher for females (196.6 per 100 visits) than males (184.1 per 100 visits) at emergency department visits.
